Experiment No.2: Colpitt Oscillator

This document describes how to build and test a Colpitt oscillator circuit. It includes the components needed, the theory of how the circuit works, and the procedure to measure the oscillation frequency. The aim is to build the circuit, measure the frequency, and compare it to the theoretically calculated value. Key parts of the circuit include an NPN transistor, capacitors, an inductor, and resistors for voltage division. The frequency is calculated using the values of the inductor and capacitors in the tank circuit.
