I have a problem that asks about the movement of the second plate of a capacitor in order to change the resonant frequency by 10 ppm in an LC circuit. I am getting stuck in terminology.
Here is the information given:
Area of each capacitor plate (one attached to solid nonmoving post while other can move small distances perpendicular to the plates) .01 m^2
Initial plate separation
100 micometersInductance
120 nHI have found the initial capacitance and frequency, but the second part of the question says "How far must the second plate move to change the resonant frequency by 10ppm". I am not entirely sure what this question is asking for. Where does ppm fit into any of the calculations. I don't want answers, but I would appreciate if somebody can translate the question into something I might understand.
