63An airport metal detector is essentially a
resonant circuit. The portal you step through is
an inductor (a large loop of conducting wire)
within the circuit. The frequency of the circuit
is tuned to its resonance frequency when there is
no metal in the inductor. Any metal on your body
increases the effective inductance of the loop
and changes the current in it. If you want the
detector to detect a small metallic object, the
circuit should have _____.
- a high quality factor
- a low quality factor
