What determines the frequency of an LC oscillator?
Pick an answer to check it.
Answer: C. The inductance and capacitance in the tank circuit
An LC oscillator runs at the resonant frequency of its tank circuit, set by the inductance and capacitance. Changing L or C changes the frequency.
Tip: LC oscillator: L and C set frequency.
