Question 3
1 pts
A group notices that the capacitor is not getting enough time to charge
all the way like they need to take data. They decide to change the
"Sec/Div" knob on the Oscope to fix this problem. Could this improve
the situation for the capacitor.
No, changes to the Oscope cannot change anything about the circuit it is
measuring (assuming the Oscope is not broken).
No, the group needs to change the "Volts/Div" knob to fill the capacitor
faster.
Yes, the "Sec/Div" knob controls how time is displayed on the Oscope.
Question 4

A group is trying to make a lightbulb flash with a function generator.
They think the lightbulb should be flashing, however the lightbulb is
continuously on. They have measured following voltage across the
lightbulb. What is the problem?
Maybe the light bulb has blown this is why the group is not getting the
expected behaviour.
The voltage change on the lightbulb is too small. Maybe the bulb is becoming
dimmer and the group doesn't notice this small change.
When the voltage decreases, it becomes negative without changing
magnitude. This flips the direction of the current, but does not decrease the
current.
Their must be a wiring problem. The Oscope clearly shows the lightbulb
should be turning on and off.
