Question

The tuning circuit in an FM radio receiver is a series RLC circuit with a 0.200 muH inductor. The receiver is tuned to a station at 104.9 MHz . What is the value of the capacitor in the tuning circuit? Express your answer to three significant figures. FM radio stations are assigned frequencies every 0.2 MHz, but two nearby stations cannot use adjacent frequencies. What is the maximum resistance the tuning circuit can have if the peak current at a frequency of 105.3 MHz . the closest frequency that can be used by a nearby station, is to be no more than 0.160 % of the peak current at 104.9 MHz ? The radio is still tuned to 104.9 MHz . and you can assume the two stations have equal strength. Express your answer to two significant figures.

Explanation / Answer

Part A:
C = 1 / (²L) = 1 / (4 ² f² L) =1.151 x 10-11 F
C= 11.51 pF

Part B:

0.16/100%
=0.0016 OHMS
