In a Wien-bridge oscillator, if the resistances in the positive feedback circuit are decreased, the frequency____________?

Correct answer: C. Increases

  • A. Remains the same
  • B. Decreases
  • C. Increases
  • D. Insufficient data

Explanation

For a balanced Wien bridge, the oscillation frequency is approximately f = 1/(2πRC). Decreasing the resistance reduces the RC time constant, so the frequency increases.
