Introduction
• Oscilloscopes are common, useful tools for viewing electric signals
• An electric signal is the flow of charge through a conductor
• An oscilloscope displays the voltage which is generated across a resistor (50 ohms or 1 megaohm) as a function of time as the electric signal passes through the resistor
• How is the voltage related to the flow of charge in the electric signal?
• Current = charge flowing past a point (or through a resistor) per unit time.
• Units = charge / time = coulombs / second = Amperes• Variable used is I• Ohm’s law V = I R ; V = voltage, R = resistance
