Describe what happens when you vary the trigger and when you press the +/-trigger
control. What is the use of the trigger on the oscilloscope?
When we vary the trigger value, the waveform displayed on the scope will move
on the screen until its stable at one point; therefore, the aim of the trigger is to stabilize
the displayed waveform to be able to study its characteristics.
When we press the +/- trigger, the waveform is inverted on the screen.

Waveform of 1st branch + waveform of 2nd branch
The resulting waveform:
Explanation
In this case, K1 is open where K2 is open so no
current pass in the lower branch and a current
pass in the upper one through the diode. The
diode allow only positive current to pass and
since the initial current here is sinusoidal having a
negative and a positive part, the result is that only
the positive part passes through the diode, arrive
at the load and appear on the screen while the
negative part dont pass and appears as a zero
line.
Explanation
In This case where K1 is open and K2 is closed,
current will pass through the two branches of the
circuit. In the first branch only the positive half of
the sinusoidal current will be allowed to pass
through the diode and in the second branch the
positive part is only allowed to pass through the
diode, but the two waveforms as shown in the
figure have a pie difference in the phase angle so
the positive part of the current in the first branch
is negative in the second and vice versa. Thats
why the curve will look so due to the
superposition of the two at the level of the resistor
whose voltage is being displayed.
Explanation
In this case we are having a short circuit on the
diode in the first branch so the current will pass
through the wire not the resistor since it has less
resistivity so the whole sinusoidal current will
pass to the resistor undistorted or changed as if
the resistor is directly connected to the generator.
However, the open switch K2 will allow no
current to pass through the second branch so the
only waveform displayed is that of first branch.

Work out the derivation steps between eq(1) and eq(2). What happens when =0 and
=90?
Before studying the two given cases (=0 or 90), its better
to rearrange the equation that we have reached in order for
not to encounter the problem of having zero in the
denominator:
