In forced oscillations, what is the effect of increasing the amplitude of the driving force?
Correct Answer: Increasing the amplitude of the driving force increases the amplitude of the forced oscillation.
- Step 1: Understand what forced oscillations are. They occur when an external force drives a system to oscillate.
- Step 2: Identify the driving force. This is the external force that causes the oscillation.
- Step 3: Recognize what amplitude means. Amplitude is the maximum extent of a vibration or oscillation, measured from the position of equilibrium.
- Step 4: Consider what happens when you increase the amplitude of the driving force. This means you are making the external force stronger.
- Step 5: Realize that a stronger driving force can make the system oscillate more widely, leading to a larger amplitude of oscillation.
- Step 6: Conclude that increasing the amplitude of the driving force generally results in an increase in the amplitude of the forced oscillation.
