Suppose your DC power supply is set to 15 V and the vertical setting on the oscilloscope is at 5 V/div.

a. How many divisions will the trace deflect if you connect the output of the power supply to the scope with the "A input" switch set on DC?
b. How many divisions if the switch is on AC?

Answer:

A) 3

B) 0

Explanation:

The volt/div selector is a scale factor, which means the input will be rescaled so we can visualize the input signal bigger or smaller.

if the volt/div is set to 5V/div that means that every division on the display represents 5 volts of the input signal.

The input signal is 15 Dc Volts so:

[tex]Ndiv=\frac{V}{V/div}\\where:\\Ndiv=divisions\\V=in\_volt\\V/div=Volt/Div\\\\Ndiv=\frac{15V}{5V/div}\\\\Ndiv=3[/tex]

If the oscilloscope is set to AC mode, the DC level is substracted, so it will only show the AC signal, in this case, there is only Dc level, so the oscilloscope will show a ground level signal (0 volts).
