Measuring Voltage with an Oscilloscope: Channel A RMS Voltage

[real-menace]

1. An oscilloscope is used to measure the voltage across
two components using Channel A and Channel B. Deduce the RMS voltage of the signal measured by
Channel A

I just want to know what they mean by "deduce the RMS voltage"

Do i need to calculate the Vrms?

Based on the readings that you can get from the oscilloscope, you should either be able to get V_rms directly or V_max to get V_rms.

It sounds like it, assuming it's a sine wave take your amplitude and divide it by the square root of 2.

ok Thanks for the reply :)
