← ScienceWhich mechanism causes increased sensitivity when tuning a radio receiver circuit with a variable capacitor?
A)Resonance frequency impedance matching✓
B)Magnetic saturation nonlinearity increase
C)Skin effect resistance minimization
D)Dielectric breakdown voltage reduction
💡 Explanation
Tuning the capacitor adjusts the resonance frequency to match the signal because impedance matching maximizes power transfer; therefore, signal sensitivity increases, rather than decreasing due to resistance, saturation, or breakdown, under normal operating conditions.
