Title: Compare AC and DC waveforms, using an oscilloscope.
Course: Electronics Systems II (17106-II) > Section: Working with Amplifiers

Comparison should include

- identifying the types of meters available for AC measurements
- demonstrating the use and operation of an oscilloscope
- identifying the basic parts of an oscilloscope
- identifying the types of waveforms
- examining wavelengths, amplitude, range, and variance of AC and DC waveforms
- identifying AC and DC applications
- demonstrating the use and operation of a function generator
- identifying the basic parts of a function generator.

Process/Skill Questions:

- What is the difference between a sinusoidal and non-sinusoidal waveform?
- What are the three types of non-sinusoidal waveforms?
- What is the difference between peak value and peak-to-peak value in a waveform?
- How is an AC wave different from a DC wave? How does this difference affect application?
