Q. In the visual display on the CRT screen, the sweep voltage causes the spot to move about the

A
horizontally from left to right at a constant velocity
B
vertically from top to bottom with constant velocity
C
Horizontally from left to right with linearly increasing velocity
D
vertically from top to bottom with linearly increasing velocity
Solution:

In the most common use of the oscilloscope the signal to be studied is first amplified and then applied to the vertical (deflection) plates to deflect the beam vertically and at the same time a voltage that increases linearly with time is applied to the horizontal (deflection) plates thus causing the beam to be deflected horizontally at a uniform (constant> rate. The signal applied to the verical plates is thus displayed on the screen as a function of time. The horizontal axis serves as a uniform time scale.
