Abstract
THE cathode-ray tube has found its chief application, in the hands of the research worker, in connexion with the study of the time-variation of voltages and currents. In such applications, the quantity under observation produces a deflexion of the spot on the screen of the tube, usually in a vertical direction, while the application of a steadily changing voltage makes the spot move in a perpendicular direction. The resultant movement of the spot traces out a Cartesian graph of the variation with time of the quantity being studied.
