Technician exam question T6D08
Subelement T6, ELECTRONIC AND ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS· Group T6D
Which of the following is combined with an inductor to make a resonant circuit?
- A.Resistor
- B.Zener diode
- C.Potentiometer
- D.Capacitor (correct answer)
WhyA capacitor is combined with an inductor to make a resonant circuit. Pairing a capacitor with an inductor forms a resonant, tuned circuit, since energy sloshes back and forth between the inductor's magnetic field and the capacitor's electric field at a frequency set by their values, answer D. A resistor (A) only dissipates energy, a Zener diode (B) is a voltage-reference component, and a potentiometer (C) is an adjustable resistor, none of which forms a resonant pair with an inductor the way a capacitor does.
