Q.20 In an oscilloscope screen, linear sweep is applied at the

1. vertical axis
2. horizontal axis
3. origin
4. both horizontal and vertical axis

Correct answer: horizontal axis

Solution

The linear sweep is applied to the horizontal axis of an oscilloscope to represent time, allowing the waveform to be displayed as it changes over time. This horizontal movement is essential for visualizing the signal's behavior in a time-based format.
