Question

UNIT-15: Intro to Lab Equipment PRE-LAB Name: ID# Course#14 Section All pre-labs are due at the beginning of the lab. This pre-lab is worth 5 points. 1) What measurement is the Digital multimeter capable of measuring? See Appendix Il in your to www.uta.edu/physics/labs, and click on your lab section to find the other lab manual. Go extra material for your labs are listed under "Supplemental material' 2) Voltages are measured in with an element and currents are with the element. measured in 3) When measuring a voltage or current and the voltmeter reading indicated a O.L followed by blank spaces, what must be done to obtain measurement? See Appendix II. 4) What kind of measurement is primarily made with an oscilloscope? When making a time based measurement, which scale (horizontal or vertical) is used for time and which for voltage. Also indicate which know on the oscilloscope controls these measurement settings? See appendix I 5)

Answer 1

The answer of the questions are mentioned here:

1. The digital multimeter typically measures Voltage,current and resistance of electronic component.

2. Voltages are measured volts with an element and currents are measured in amperes with the element.

4. Oscilloscopes are used to observe the change of an electrical signal over time, such that voltage and time describe a shape which is continuously graphed against a calibrated scale. The observed waveform can be analyzed for such properties as amplitude, frequency, rise time, time interval, distortion and others.

5. For voltage-time measurements,time plots on horizontal axis as it is independent quantity and voltage is on vertical axis being an dependent quantity
