Problem: If the top circuit has an oscillation frequency of 1000 Hz, the frequency of the bottom circuit is?

Frequency of LC circuit:

$f = \frac{1}{2 π \sqrt{L C}}$

For the first circuit, the frequency is expressed as:

$\begin{array}{rcl} f & = & \frac{1}{2 π} \frac{1}{\sqrt{L C}} \\ \frac{1}{\sqrt{L C}} & = & 2 π f \\ = & 2 π (1000) \end{array}$

For the second circuit:

Equivalent capacitance for the second circuit:

$\begin{array}{rcl} \frac{1}{C_{e q}} & = & \frac{1}{C} + \frac{1}{C} \\ \frac{1}{C_{e q}} & = & \frac{2}{C} \end{array}$
