Question 4
(A) State three types of multivibrators.
        (b) A tuned  collector-oscillator of a radio receiver having an inductance of 40 x 10-6H is required to receive a station  broadcasting at 103.1 x 106Hz.  Calculate the value of the effective capacitance required for smooth operation.
(c) Fig. 4 is a block diagram of an power supply unit.
 
Use Fig. 4 to complete Table 2.
