While the resonant frequency of a tuned circuit is a single frequency, the effect of resonance is significant over a certain range of frequencies. What is this range called?

  1. ABandwidth
  2. BQuality factor
  3. CShape factor
  4. DResponse curve

Correct answer: A — Bandwidth. From the official ISED question bank, verified word for word.

Why

Bandwidth is the correct term because it describes the span of frequencies around a circuit's resonant point where the signal remains strong enough to be useful, rather than dropping off immediately. The full explanation — and one for every question — is in Pro.
