Question
(I) The oscillator of a $96.1-\mathrm{MHz}$ FM station has an inductance of 1.8$\mu \mathrm{H}$ . What value must the capacitance be?
Step 1
1 \, \text{MHz}$ and the inductance $L = 1.8 \, \mu \text{H}$. We need to find the capacitance $C$. We can use the formula for the resonant frequency of an LC circuit, which is given by \[f = \frac{1}{2\pi\sqrt{LC}}.\] Show more…

An AM station is broadcasting a radio wave whose frequency is 1400 $kHz$.The value of the capacitance in Figure 24.4 is $8.4 \times 10^{-11} F$ . What must be the value of the inductance in order that this station can be tuned in by the radio?
(II) A certain FM radio tuning circuit has a fixed capacitor $C=620 \mathrm{pF}$ . Tuning is done by a variable inductance. What range of values must the inductance have to tune stations from 88 $\mathrm{MHz}$ to 108 $\mathrm{MHz}$ ?
