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

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
