Analysis
1. AC waveform has 2.6 divisions
VOLTS/DIV setting = 2.0V/DIV
peak-to-peak voltage = 2.6 x 2 = 5.2 Vpp
5.2
DC rms = =3.677V
√2
2. As stated in Kirchhoff's Voltage Law, the algebraic total of the potential differences in
any circuitry loop must really be zero. As, we can see that the values obtained in the table
2.2 are in compliance with the Kirchhoff's voltage law because the voltage drop across
the resistors connected is equal to the voltage source attached to the resistors.
