Resonant circuits in a receiver are used to:
- Aselect the desired signal frequencies
- Bfilter direct current
- Camplify audio signals
- Dadjust voltage levels
Correct answer: A — select the desired signal frequencies. From the official ISED question bank, verified word for word.
Why
Resonant circuits act like a tuning fork for radio waves, vibrating strongly only at one specific frequency while ignoring others, which allows the receiver to pick out your desired station from the airwaves. The full explanation — and one for every question — is in Pro.
