A Levels Physics (9702)•9702/11/O/N/21
Question 36 from 9702/11/O/N/21

Explanation

Recognizing the oscilloscope circuit symbol

Steps:

  • Recall standard electronic component symbols used in circuit diagrams.
  • Note that an oscilloscope displays voltage waveforms over time.
  • Identify its unique symbol: a circle with a vertical line crossed by a short horizontal line on the right, mimicking a display screen.
  • Compare to choices and select the matching one.

Why C is correct:

  • C matches the IEC 60617 standard symbol for an oscilloscope, featuring a circular enclosure with an internal vertical line and adjacent short horizontal tick, representing the CRT screen.

Why the others are wrong:

  • A is the voltmeter symbol (circle with "V" inside).
  • B is the ammeter symbol (circle with "A" inside).
  • D is the loudspeaker symbol (circle with diagonal lines).

Final answer: C
