Which mechanism causes increased sensitivity when tuning a radio receiver circuit with a variable capacitor?

A)Resonance frequency impedance matching
B)Magnetic saturation nonlinearity increase
C)Skin effect resistance minimization
D)Dielectric breakdown voltage reduction

💡 Explanation

Tuning the capacitor adjusts the resonance frequency to match the signal because impedance matching maximizes power transfer; therefore, signal sensitivity increases, rather than decreasing due to resistance, saturation, or breakdown, under normal operating conditions.
