Lab Instrumentation — question 3 of 10

Write a real answer. It is graded against the question's rubric, and the mastery movement is computed by the same engine the product uses. Scoring here is deterministic rather than model-written, so this page costs nothing to run and nothing is saved. In a track built from your own posting, the same rubric is graded by the model, which is what produces feedback about your reasoning rather than about coverage.

You want to see a 100 mV ripple riding on a 12V rail. You connect the probe, set coupling to DC, and set the vertical scale to 2 V per division. The trace looks like a flat line. What do you change, and why?

How sure are you?

Being confidently wrong costs more mastery than admitting a guess — that is deliberate, and it is how misconceptions get found.

Neither is graded, and nothing here is recorded.
