Experiment No 2: Objective: To Draw Operational Characteristics of A Semi-Conductor Diode

This experiment aims to draw the operational characteristics of a semiconductor diode. The apparatus includes a variable DC power supply, silicon diode, volt meter, ampere meter, and resistor. The procedure involves setting up the circuit according to the diagram and taking readings of forward voltage and current values by increasing the source voltage until 0.65V, as well as reverse voltage and very small reverse current readings. The observations are then used to plot the I-V characteristics graph showing forward and reverse biased conditions.

EXPERIMENT No 2

Objective: To draw operational characteristics of a semi-conductor


diode

Apparatus:
Variable DC Power supply 01
Diode (Silicon) 01
Volt Meter 01
Ampere Meter 01
Resistor 01

Circuit Diagram:

Vd

Id

Procedure:

1. Before starting check the orientation of the diode. The marked side shows the
negative terminal of diode.
2. Make circuit on bread board according to the circuit diagram. Switch on the
power supply first when the Vd was 0.3V then the Id was 0.2uA. Series
resistance was 1k ohm.
3. Go on increasing the source voltage till it reaches 0.65V (Si).the diode turns on
and note the readings for the forward current.
4. In reverse biased condition, go on increasing the voltage the reverse current is
very small note the readings.
5. Use the readings to draw the characteristics, which will look like as shown.
