clapp oscillator have frequency more stable and accurate than colpitts oscillator.
depends on the oscillator and its purpose
Colpitt oscillator is better than hartley because colpitt produces less phase noise and uses capacitor instead of inductor as used in hartley oscillator which means that area is also saved.
radar transmitters UHF TV transmission
SOME kind of oscillator is required, to create the AC signal that will be modulated, amplified, and eventually sent up to the antenna to be transmitted. It doesn't have to be a crystal oscillator, though.

colpitts oscillator has two coils in series and one capacitor in parallel. hartley oscillator has one capacitor and one coil in parallel
1.CE amplifier circuit 2.LC oscillator circuit
No because hartley uses inductors which are bulky and economically not feasible to obtain tuning inductors as compared to colpitt's which uses capacitors which are relatively very cheap and small.
whatever works at the desired operating frequency
An oscillator has a tuned circuit (inductance+capacitance) to determine the frequency. When the inductor is tapped to give the required phase-shift for oscillation it is a Hartley oscillator. When the capacitance is tapped it is a Colpitts.
advantages over what? Colpitts? Mostly the fact that it does not require a choke. A Hartley is more harmonic-rich than a Colpitts, so the main reason it is used lies in its (relative) ease of construction.
for radio frequnency ... and audio frequency. I have a Colpitts oscillator on a small piece of Veroboard 3/4"x 1/2"mounted on the terminals of a standard telephone earpiece. It uses the earpiece itslef as the inductor. The nominal impedance of the earpiece is about 300 ohms. With capacitors of 1μF and 0.47μF it oscillates at about 2kHz.
A Colpitts oscillator is the electrical dual of a Hartley oscillator. In the Colpitts circuit, two capacitors and one inductor determine the frequency of oscillation. The feedback needed for oscillation is taken from a voltage divider made by the two capacitors, where in the Hartley circuit the feedback is taken from a voltage divider made by two inductors (or a tapped single inductor). (Note: the capacitor can be a variable device by using a varactor). Oscillation frequency The ideal frequency of oscillation for the circuit is given by the equation: where the series combination of C1 and C2 creates the effective capacitance of the LC tank. Real circuits will oscillate at a slightly lower frequency due to junction capacitances of the transistor and possibly other stray capacitances
A. Russell Colpitts was born in 1906.
You could build a Tesla Coil and utilize the strong electric field but your probably talking about resonant magnetic induction. Consider the royer oscillator. I have been unsuccessful with it so far but it works. The colpitts oscillator works well too but don't expect a lot of power.
