Oscilloscopes and Electrocardiograms - WFU Physics

A waveform consists of various properties, two of which are amplitude (A) and period (T). Take a look at the example of a sine waveform in Figure 1. In this lab, the amplitude is in Volts (V) since we are working with AC circuits. Usually, we don’t measure the current; we measure the voltage, mostly because measuring voltage is easier. ................
