How to measure AC/DC voltage & current using CRO? Explain with diagrams

This entry is part 6 of 8 in the series Laboratory Instruments

Applications of CRO

The CRO is a versatile laboratory instrument. It is used for all types of measurements like AC/DC voltage, AC/DC current, frequency and phase measurements. These methods are given below.

Measurement of AC/DC voltage

Measurement of AC voltage: With this method, we can measure the peak value of AC voltage. Connect unknown AC voltage across y-input of CRO. A following type of waveform will be displayed on the screen.

AC waveform obtained on the screen of CRO

Measure its peak displacement in centimeters on graticule scale. Note down the position of Volt/div scale in Volts. Then using the formula calculate the peak value Vp
