Oscilloscope applications (AQA A-Level Physics): Flashcards

Y-axis: voltage; X-axis: time

Determines volts per division on vertical scale

Adjusts time per division on horizontal axis

DC, AC, GD (ground)

$\text{emf} = \text{divisions} \times \text{y-gain}$

$T = \text{divisions per cycle} \times \text{time base}$

$f = \frac{1}{T}$

$\text{voltage} = \text{divisions} \times \text{y-gain}$

$\pm 0.2$ divisions

Five subdivisions
