MCQs on Oscillator for NEET 2021

An oscillator is a device that converts direct current (DC) from the power supply to an alternating current (AC). The signal output of an oscillator is generally of constant amplitude. An oscillator consists of a tank circuit, a transistor amplifier and a feedback circuit. The tank circuit has an inductor and capacitor connected parallel to each other. The frequency of the oscillator component is determined by the value of these components. The output of the tank circuit is amplified by the tank amplifier. The feedback circuit sends part of the output energy to the LC circuit.
