How do you set the input voltage of cathode ray oscilloscope?

first we connect the oscilloscope with the function generator or whatever the source of the input voltage , there will be a wave ,we try to adjust its amplitude using oscilloscope ..and this amplitude will be the peak to peak voltage..putting into consideration how volt/ div while measuring the amplitude


A technician uses an oscilloscope to measure the peak value of an ac wave he tells you that the voltage has a peak value of 100v what is the rms value of the voltage?

100v divided by 1.41


How do you measure waveforms to determine peak to peak values?

With an oscilloscope. Measure the vertical height of the wave on the screen . Multiply that by the volts per division setting. That will give you its' voltage.


How you can prove the Peak voltage?

Use an oscilloscope. That shows the voltage waveform and you can read the peak value.


How do you measure amplitude of a ripple?

Most true RMS voltmeters can measure the value of a ripple voltage on top of a DC supply, when you place it in AC mode. You can also place a small capacitor in series with a DC voltmeter and that would measure the ripple. The real way to do this, because ripple voltage is not sinusoidal, is to use an oscilloscope, particularly if you want the peak values.


Does a standard multimeter measure ac in peak or peak to peak?

Neither. A.C. voltage, and current, are expressed as root-mean-square (rms) values, and this is what a voltmeter and an ammeter reading will indicate. To measure peak voltage, or peak-to-peak voltage, you will need to use an oscilloscope.


How is ripple measured?

Usually with an oscilloscope which shows a graph of the voltage, and then the peak-to-peak ripple voltage can be read off the screen.


How do you convert peak voltage to peak-peak voltage?

Simply multiply the peak voltage to 2 and you will get the peak to peak voltage.


A technician uses an oscilloscope to measure the peak value of an AC wave He tells you that the voltage has a peak value of 100 v What is the rms value of the voltage?

you take the peak voltage and divide it by the square root of 2 100/1.414= 70.7 volts rms This is true only for sine wave. For other waveforms like a triangle signal it is different.


What are the advantages of using an Oscilloscope over a voltmeter?

In the name of Allah,the most Gracious,the most Merciful... The Oscilloscope has several advantages over a voltmeter, for example if you want to determine a signal parameters [ voltage values (max,peak-to-peak,rms,average...etc),frequency,offset...etc ] using measurement tools: 1- You can use the Oscilloscope whatever the signal frequency is, but you can't use the Avometer unless the signal frequency is 50 to 60 Hz. 2- The Oscilloscope shows you the shape (form) of the signal, while the Avometer doesn't. 3- You can determine the maximum value of the signal (max voltage) and peak-to-peak voltage when you observe the signal on an Oscilloscope,hence you can calculate the rms (root mean square) value, i.e. the effective value , the average value and the offset of signal form the time axis (the horizontal axis). While an Avometer can only give you the rms value.


How do you measure the peak voltage on a occiloscope?

on most newer oscilloscopes there is a measure button that will allow you to pick peak voltage from the menu. If your o-scope doesn't have this measure button, you will have the use the knob that controls the horizontal cursor and just move it to the top of your wave. The peak voltage is the voltage from the 0 point of the wave to the top of the wave.


What is the peak voltage of a sine wave that measure 220V AC rms?

Peak voltage will be 1.414 times the RMS. Peak to Peak voltage, assuming no DC offset, will be 2 x 1.414 x the RMS value.
