Clapp oscillator is an ___________(a) LC oscillator(b) RC oscillator(c) RL oscillator(d) Crystal oscillatorThis question was addressed to me by my college director while I was bunking the class.This intriguing question originated from Clapp Oscillator topic in chapter Oscillators of Analog Circuits

Answer»

The CORRECT answer is (a) LC oscillator

The EXPLANATION is: Clapp oscillator is a COLPITTS oscillator which has an extra capacitor series with an inductor. Hence it is an LC oscillator, with 3 CAPACITORS and one single inductor to set its frequency,and the clap circuit is often used as a variable frequency oscillator, by MAKING one capacitor variable.
