Questions for Electronics Engineering Experts: Oscilloscope, Function Gen & DMM

Click For Summary
The discussion centers on a student's inquiries about key electronics tools: oscilloscopes, function generators, and digital multimeters. Key questions include the function of DC offset on function generators, the frequency range and signal types they produce, differences in readings between AC and DC settings on digital multimeters, and the impact of DC versus AC coupling on measurements. The community encourages the student to share prior research and resources related to these topics. Engaging with existing literature is emphasized as a crucial step in understanding these concepts. Overall, the discussion aims to clarify fundamental principles in electronics engineering.

Hi experts,
I am a student of electronics engineering and a new member. I have few questions related to Oscilloscope, function generator and Digital Multimeter.
1. what does the DC offset on the function generator do?
2. What is the frequency range and type of signals available?
3. What is the difference between the readings at AC and DC settings on the Digital Multimeter?
4. Is there a difference between the measurements under DC and AC coupling and Why?

Welcome to PhysicsForums. :smile:

What reading have you done so far to try to answer these questions? What links can you show us from your reading?

And is this for a schoolwork question?
 

Thread 'Electric power distribution from powerplant to homes'

I am trying to understand how transferring electric from the powerplant to my house is more effective using high voltage. The suggested explanation that the current is equal to the power supply divided by the voltage, and hence higher voltage leads to lower current and as a result to a lower power loss on the conductives is very confusing me. I know that the current is determined by the voltage and the resistance, and not by a power capability - which defines a limit to the allowable...
