Both: when over text that is selectable or editable, it's the I beam, when not it's the cursor arrow.


Function of X plates in cathode ray oscilloscope?

cathode - emits electrons which will become the beamcontrol grid - adjustment of beam current and thus brightness on screenfocus grids - focusing beam to sharp point on screen to form small dotx plates - deflect beam left/righty plates - deflect beam up/downanode - aquadag coating (baked on graphite applied in water suspension) on the inside of the CRT's cone, both accelerates the beam and collects the electrons that rebound from the screenNote: the grids in a CRT are different from the grids in ordinary vacuum tubes: in a CRT the grids are just round holes in metal disks that surround the beam, in ordinary vacuum tubes the grids are actual wire grids in the direct path of electron flow.


What are lissajous figures?

when 2 perpendicular, sinusoidally varying voltages are applied to an electron beam in a CRT, the pattern traced by the beam on the screen of the CRT is a lissajous figure.


What structures hold a bridge up?

A suspension bridge suspends its load from main cables that run along both sides of the structure. The beam bridge is the oldest and most common type of bridge. A beam bridge is a horizontal structure, with beam supports at each end, and piers between the beams.
