CRO 1 Electronics Next Slide • A Cathode Ray Oscilloscope (CRO) is shown below.

CRO 1 Electronics Next Slide • The structure of CRO is shown below. It can be divided into three parts, electron gun, deflection system and fluorescent system. fluorescent electron gun screen cathode grid anodes Y-plates X-plates electron beam deflection system spot

Back to CRO 1 Electronics Click Back to • Electron gun : It emits a narrow beam of electrons which is called cathode ray. • Deflection system : It can deflect the path of electrons vertically by applying a p. d. across the X-plates and horizontally by applying a p. d. across the Y-plates. • Fluorescent screen : It is coated with fluorescent material. When the electron beam hits the screen, light is emitted.

CRO 1 Electronics Next Slide • Suppose X-plates have no connection, the patterns on the screen for different kinds of input voltage for Y-plates are shown below. screen • 0 V across Y-plates means no deflection for the electron beam. The spot is at the centre of the screen.

CRO 1 Electronics Next Slide screen • A constant d. c. voltage , say 3 V, is across Yplates means deflection for the electron beam. The spot is deflected upwards. The larger the d. c. voltage, the larger the deflection is.

Back to CRO 1 Electronics Click Back to screen • A non-constant a. c. voltage (50 Hz), is across Y -plates means unstable deflection for the electron beam. The spot is deflected upwards and downwards rapidly and forms a vertical straight line. • The p. d. across the Y-plates is measured by the Y-gain control (or gain control). It is calibrated in V/cm or V/div. The p. d. can then be found by measuring the deflection of the spot from the centre of the screen.

Back to CRO 1 Electronics Click Back to • The X-plates are connected to a special circuit called timebase circuit. It makes the spot to sweep across the screen from left to right at a steady rate and then the spot will move back to its starting point very rapidly and repeat the motion. time-base circuit • The sweeping rate is measured by s/cm or s/div. screen

CRO 1 Electronics Next Slide • Common patterns on the screen on the CRO are shown. Y-plate : no connection X-plate : no connection Y-plate : d. c. voltage X-plate : no connection

CRO 1 Electronics Next Slide • Common patterns on the screen on the CRO are shown. Y-plate : a. c. voltage X-plate : no connection Y-plate : no connection X-plate : time base circuit

Electronic Device 1 Electronics Next Slide • Light dependent resistor (LDR) and its symbol are shown below: symbol

Back to Electronic Device 1 Electronics Click Back to • Resistance of LDR depends on the intensity of light falling on it. In the dark, the LDR has a high resistance. In the light, it has low resistance. LED glows when LDR is lighted by a torch. LED dies out when the torch is removed.

Back to Electronic Device 1 Electronics Click Back to • Reed relay consists of a reed switch inside a coil. When current passes through the coil, it becomes an electromagnet and the reed switch is closed. Therefore, we can control the flow of large current in a circuit with a small current.

Point A is said to be at high potential (+) since the p. d. between A and low potential line is much larger than the p. d. between A and high potential line. Hence, the output O should be at low potential ( ) and the buzzer does not sound. • At fire : At high temperature, the resistance of thermistor is very small compared with the resistance of the variable resistor. Point A is said to be at low potential ( ) since the p. d. between A and low potential line is much smaller than the p. d. between A and high potential line.
