Question

1. What does the horizontal axis ordinarily measure on an oscilloscope?
2. What frequency should the function generator be set to if period of 25 us is a desired?
3. If a resistor has the color combination of yellow-violet-red-gold, what is the range of acceptable values of resistance?
4. Given that the voltage from a wall outlet is AC, if you digital multimeter to measure the wall outlet voltage to be 120 V, what is the maximum voltage level provided by the wall outlet

Answer 1

Answer:

1. OK the

1. The horizontal axis of a osclloscope is generally TIME axis.

2. given T =25 micro second

That is = 25E-6 s

Then We f = (1/T) .

So f = 1/(25 x 10^-6) = 40000 Hz =

40 KHz.

3. First Band will be Yellow

Second Band will be Violet

Third Band will be Red

And

Fourth Band will be Gold

Thus, the value of the resistance = (47 x 100)plus or minus 5%

= (4700 plus or minua5%) ohm

the range of the acceptable value of the resistance will now be

= 4465 ohm to 4935 ohm

(4)

The level provided by the wall outlet = 120 x √2 = 169.68 V

The √2 is because the multimeter measures RMS voltage rather than peak voltage and

RMS Voltage is = √2 x peak voltage
