Oil quartz do not operate below which value?

Oil quartz do not operate below which value?

• A. 2 Quartz
• B. 4 Quartz
• C. 3 Quartz
• D. 5 Quartz

Answer: (B)

Oil-immersed quartz components require a minimum drive to overcome damping from the oil layer. If the value falls below that threshold, the oscillator can’t start or sustain oscillation. That minimum threshold is four quartz units, so any value below four won’t operate. Values like two or three are under the limit, while five is above it and would operate, but the question asks for the value below which operation fails, which is four.
