Why voltage measurement using the oscilloscope requires only one terminal?

Because the O'scope and the device being checked must somehow be sharing a common ground. That may be good, bad, or indifferent, depending on the electrical sensitivity requirements of the device being checked. It won't harm a quality O'scope.

What State the applications that an oscilloscope can be used for measurements?
Eng Nurudeen Abiola Frequency measurement voltage measurement current measurement phase angel measurement
Why current cannot be measured directly using an oscilloscope?
A standard oscilloscope is designed to measure voltage, you need a current probe for your oscilloscope to measure current.
How do you set the input voltage of cathode ray oscilloscope?
first we connect the oscilloscope with the function generator or whatever the source of the input voltage , there will be a wave ,we try to adjust its amplitude using oscilloscope ..and this amplitude will be the peak to peak voltage..putting into consideration how volt/ div while measuring the amplitude
What is terminal voltage?
Terminal voltage is the voltage gotten at the terminals of the load in any system.
How you can prove the Peak voltage?
Use an oscilloscope. That shows the voltage waveform and you can read the peak value.
How do you measure peak voltage using oscilloscope?
You measure the peak to peak voltage and divide by 2.
What is a v out?
"Vout" typically refers to the output voltage of a circuit or device. It is the voltage level that is generated or present at the output terminal or node of the circuit. Voltage output is a common measurement parameter in electronics and electrical engineering.
If the excitation of generator changes what happens to the terminal voltage?
By Decreasing the excitation voltage the terminal voltage will decrease and similarly by increasing the excitation voltages the terminal voltage will also increases.
What you will do to measure voltage which is greater than voltage limit of the cathode ray oscilloscope?
change your resistance, its a little button, or if you are using an older oscilloscope, its a knob that will lower the sensitivity of the display. if it is something way higher than the oscilloscope can measure, you may have to run a resistor or transformer in the line.

When measuring voltage how should test probes be connected?
First connect the positive terminal of the voltage line to positive terminal of multimeter and negative to negative terminal of multimeter. Select voltage in multimeter and measure the voltage
What is the purpose of the voltage divider control in oscilloscope?
This control reduces the amplitude of the applied signal to a point where the whole signal can be displayed on the oscilloscope screen. The amount of voltage reduction is marked on this control switch so that it can be used as a voltmeter.
