Why is R3 and R4 not involved in the equation? Please explain me in detail.

C =[1/2*pi*R*f]
=159.155 nF!

Wien bridge oscillator is designed to supply a frequency of 10khz.

Assume R1=R2=70k ohm and R3=2R4=500 ohm also assume that the capacitor value is equal, determine the capacitor value that will produce the frequency.

f=[1/2*pi*RC]

f=1/(2*pi*sqrt(R1*R2*C1*C2)). Since R1=R2=R=50k, C1=C2=C, therefore
20k=1/(2*pi*50k*C), C=159.15pF

Since we know for Above circuit,

f = 1/{2*pi*Sqrt(R1C1R2C2)} where 'f' is resonance frequency.

When C1=C2 and R1=R2 then,
f = 1/(2*pi*c*R).

By Rearranging and solving the equation.

C = C1 = C2 = 1/(2*Pi*20k*50k).

= 159pF.

It can be obtained from the frequency of oscillation for the wienbridge.

F=1/2*π*√ (r1*r2*c1*c2).
