Problem

(i) Starting from the expression for the resonant frequency of a series LCR circuit, derive an expression for the fractional change Δf0f0\dfrac{\Delta f_0}{f_0} in terms of the fractional change ΔLL\dfrac{\Delta L}{L} when the capacitance is kept constant. (ii) Using the result obtained, find the percentage change in f0f_0 if the inductance increases by 3%3\%. (iii) If instead the capacitance were increased by 3%3\% with LL unchanged, what would be the percentage change in f0f_0? Compare the two results and state which parameter the resonant frequency is more sensitive to.
