Solution 1

The frequency of an LC oscillator is given by the formula:

f = 1 / (2π√(LC))

Where: f is the frequency, L is the inductance, and C is the capacitance.

We can rearrange this formula to solve for C:

C = 1 / (4π²f²L)

Substituting the given values:

C = 1 / (4π² * (100kHz)² * 15mH) C = 1 / (4 * (3.14159)² * (100 * 10^3 Hz)² * 15 * 10^-3 H)

After calculating the above expression, we get:

C ≈ 1.06 * 10^-12 F

So, the capacitance of the capacitor required is approximately 1.06 picofarads (pF).
