In an RF oscillator circuit designed for high stability, the positive feedback is drawn from two capacitors connected in series. These two capacitors would most likely be:

  1. AMylar
  2. Bsilver mica
  3. Cceramic
  4. Delectrolytics

Correct answer: B — silver mica. From the official ISED question bank, verified word for word.

Why

Silver mica capacitors are the right choice because they hold their value very well when temperature or voltage changes, which keeps the oscillator frequency steady. The full explanation — and one for every question — is in Pro.
