Quiz 1: potential difference

Exercise 1: (6pts) Potential Difference

An analogue voltmeter and an oscilloscope are connected as shown in the adjacent figure.

A. The voltmeter has two terminals (1) and (2) as shown.

Which terminal is the positive? Why?
B. Is the value measured by the oscilloscope VCD or VDC? Why?

C. The loads in the given circuit are NOT identical and we can
have: VNP = -12V; VAC = -8V; VBD = 7V.

a) What is the value of each of VPN and VCA?

b) Calculate the value of VCD.
c) Determine the value of VAB.
d) A and B are connected using a connecting wire. What is
the new value of VAB? Why?
e) The luminous straight line at the screen of the oscilloscope is observed to deviate by 3cm. Deduce the
vertical sensitivity of the oscilloscope.
f) The battery in the figure is replaced with another one of an unknown voltage.
If the voltmeter has a dial of 100 divisions, and a scale of 10 V is used.
The needle of the voltmeter deviates by 75 divisions. What is the voltage of the new battery?

Exercise 2 :( 4pts)
The electric circuit shown in the adjacent figure is fed
by one electric generator

Given: UAB=20V, UBC=10V, UBE=5V and UED=3V.

a) Calculate the voltage UAE, UAD, UCD, UEC and UPN.

b) A is connected to the ground.
Find the potentials VP, VN, VB, VC, VD and VE
