Questions and Answers

What is the function of the electron gun in a Cathode Ray Oscilloscope (CRO)?

The electron gun generates a focused beam of electrons.

How does the time-base generator contribute to the operation of a Cathode Ray Oscilloscope (CRO)?

The time-base generator controls the horizontal deflection of the electron beam, allowing the display of waveforms in the time domain.

What happens when the electron beam strikes the phosphorescent screen in a Cathode Ray Oscilloscope (CRO)?

The electron beam causes the screen to emit light, creating a visible trace.

Describe the role of the deflection system in a Cathode Ray Oscilloscope (CRO).
