D)none of the mentioned

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

In a crystal oscillator, between the series and parallel resonant frequencies, the reactance is inductive. This is because the crystal behaves like an inductor in this frequency range, with the inductance coming from the mechanical vibrations of the crystal.
