Question:

An oscilloscope is used to display the variation of voltage across a 200 Ω resistor with time. The trace is shown. The time-base of the oscilloscope is set at 5 ms div−1 and the Y-gain at 0.5 V div−1.

Determine:
a. The period and hence the frequency of the alternating voltage
b. The peak voltage and hence the r.m.s. voltage
c. The r.m.s. current in the resistor
d. The mean power dissipated in the resistor.
