Question
Many electronic circuits use what is called a split or a dual power supply:
15 V
Electronic
dircuit
"Ground"
15 V
Determine what a digital voltmeter would indicate if connected between the following
points:
• Red lead on Ä", black lead on ground
Red lead on "B", black lead on ground
• Red lead on Ã", black lead on "B"
• Red lead on "B", black lead on A"
NOTE: in electronic systems, "ground" is often not associated with an actual earth-soil
contact. It usually only refers to a common point of reference somewhere in the circuit
used to take voltage measurements. This allows us to specify voltages at single points in
the circuit, with the implication that "ground" is the other point for the voltmeter to
connect to.
