An oscilloscope's volts/division switch is set on  50 mV / div . If the vertical deflection of the oscilloscope's trace is  1.6  division, what voltage is being measured?
A)  0.008  V
B)  50  mV
C)  1.6  mV
D)  80  mV

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Each division on the vertical axis represents 50 mV. 
Therefore, 1.6 divisions = 1.6 x 50 mV = 80 mV.
