OBJECTIVE:
To follow the basic instructions for laboratory equipment functions and become familiar
with the correct ways of operating lab instrument.

APPARATUS:
• DC Power Supply (Adjustable from 0-15V)
• Resistors, Inductors and Capacitors
• Breadboard
• Diodes, LEDs, BJTs and JFETs
• VOM (Analog or Digital Multi-meter)

THEORY:

RESISTOR:
Resistor is an electronic component whose function is to limit the flow of current in
an electric circuit. It is measured in units called ohms. The symbol for ohm is
Ω(omega). They are available in different values, shapes and sizes.
Every material has some resistance. Some materials such as Rubber, Glass and air
have very high opposition to current to flow. These materials are called insulators.
Other materials such as Copper, Silver and Aluminum etc., has very low resistance,
they are called Conductors.

CAPACITOR
A capacitor (originally known as a condenser) is a passive two-terminal electrical component used to
store energy electrostatically in an electric field. By contrast, batteries store energy via chemical
reactions. The forms of practical capacitors vary widely, but all contain at least two electrical
conductors separated by a dielectric (insulator); for example, one common construction consists of
metal foils separated by a thin layer of insulating film. Capacitors are widely used as parts of electrical
circuits in many common electrical devices.

Symbol:

INDUCTORS
An inductor, also called a coil or reactor, is a passive two-terminal electrical component which
resists changes in electric current passing through it. It consists of a conductor such as a wire,
usually wound into a coil. When a current flows through it, energy is stored in a magnetic field in
the coil. When the current flowing through an inductor changes, the time varying magnetic field
induces a voltage in the conductor, according to Faraday’s law of electromagnetic induction,
which by Lenz's law opposes the change in current that created it.

BREAD BOARDS:
This is the platform (or chassis) on which any circuit can be ringed up to provide inter connections
between electronics components and devices.
The advantage of bread board is, the components can be connected (or) disconnected easily. It has
holes both horizontally and vertically as shown in the figure.
The horizontal holes at the top and bottom are having internal shorts where as in the remaining part
vertical holes are shorted internally.

DIODE:
A popular semiconductor device called a diode is made by combining P & N type semiconductor
materials. The doped regions meet to form a P-N junction. Diodes are unidirectional devices that
allow current to flow through them in one direction only. The schematic symbol for a semiconductor
diode is shown. The P-side of the diode is called the anode (A), while the N-side of the diode is
called the cathode (K).

BIPOLAR JUNCTION TRANSISTOR (BJT):

A transistor has three doped regions there are two types of transistors one is npn and other is pnp.
Notice that for both types, the base is narrow region sandwiched between the larger collector and
moderate emitter regions.

Transistor lead Identification:


There are three leads in a Transistor called collector, emitter and base. When a transistor is to be
connected in a circuit it is necessary to identify the leads of transistor before connecting in a circuit.
The identification of the leads of transistor varies with manufacturer.

Checking a transistor with a Digital Multi-meter (DMM):


Insert the transistor in the provided slots, position the knob of DMM in hFE mode and check the hFE
value.

FIELD EFFECT TRANSISTORS (FETS):


The field effect transistor (FET) is a three terminal device similar to the bipolar junction transistor.
The FET, however, is a unipolar device, which depends on only one type of charge carriers; either
electrons or holes. There are basically two types of FETs. The junction field effect transistor,
abbreviated JFET, and the metal oxide semiconductor field effect transistor, abbreviated MOSFET.
A junction field effect Transistor is a three terminal semiconductor device in which current
conduction is by one type of carriers i.e., electrons or holes.

Schematic symbol of JFET

Testing:
In case of FET, drain to source should be a fixed resistance in either direction.
Gate to drain or gate to source should be an open circuit or a very high resistance.

LIGHT EMITTING DIODES LEDS:


As opposed to other diodes that give off heat when conducting, LEDs emit light. In the latter, the
recombination of charge carriers across the PN junction releases optical energy when the electrons
fall from the conduction to the valence band. The heat emission is negligible in light emitting
materials like gallium arsenic phosphide and gallium phosphide.

MULTIMETRES
A Multi=meter is an electronic device that is used to make various electrical measurements, such as AC
and DC voltage, AC and DC current, and resistance. It is called a Multi-meter because it combines the
functions of a voltmeter, ammeter, and ohmmeter. Multi-meter may also have other functions, such as
diode test, continuity test, transistor test, TTL logic test and frequency test.

FUNCTION GENERATOR
A function generator is electronic test equipment used to generate different types of waveforms over a
wide range of frequencies. Function generators are capable of producing a variety of repetitive
waveforms, generally from the list below

DC VARIABLE POWER SUPPLY

A power supply is a device that supplies electric power to an electrical load. The term is most
commonly applied to electric power converters that convert one form of electrical energy to another,
though it may also refer to devices that convert another form of energy (mechanical, chemical, solar) to
electrical energy. A regulated power supply is one that controls the output voltage or current to a
specific value; the controlled value is held nearly constant despite variations in either load current or the
voltage supplied by the power supply's energy source.

CATHODE-RAY OSCILLOSCOPE (CRO)


The device consists mainly of a vacuum tube which contains a cathode; anode, grid, X and Y plates, and
a fluorescent screen (see Figure below). When the cathode is heated (by applying a small potential
difference across its terminals), it emits electrons. Having a potential difference between the cathode
and the anode (electrodes), accelerate the emitted electrons towards the anode, forming an electron
beam, which passes to fall on the screen.

other hand is non-linear device because its voltage & current are not proportional. Furthermore, a diode is a
unilateral device because it conducts well only in forward direction. As a guide a small signal diode has a
reverse /forward resistance ratio of more than 1000:1. In this experiment you will measure diode voltage &

In this experiment you will work with the diode approximation. In the ideal or first approximation a diode act
like a closed switch when forward bias, an open switch when reverse bias. In the second approximation we include the
knee voltage of the diode when it is forward biased. This means assuming 0.7v across the conducting silicon diode. In
the third approximation we include the knee voltage and bulk resistance, because of this, the voltage across the
conducting diode is increase as the diode current increase.

OBJECTIVE:
To follow the given procedure and Display the results to visualize the to study Half-Wave Rectifier circuits

APPARATUS:
 Transformer AC Centre tapped (Triad F-25X or equivalent) with fuse line cord
 Resistor½W (1kΩ)
 Silicon Diode(1N4001or equivalent)
 Digital multi meter (Analog & Digital Multimeter)

THEORY:
The basic rectifier circuits are half wave, full wave & bridge. The ripple frequency of half wave
rectifier circuit is equal to the input frequency. For a given transformer the unfiltered output of the
half wave & full wave rectifier ideally-has a DC value of slightly less than half the RMS secondary
voltage.
In this experiment, you will build a type of rectifier & measure their input /output characteristics. Be
careful when connecting the transformer line voltage. The transformer should have a fused line cord
with all primary connections isolated to avoid electric shock.

QUALITATIVE ANALYSIS;

HALF WAVE RECTIFIER:


It converts low level AC signal to DC and gives 50% cycle.

TRANSFORMER:

A transformer is a power converter that transfers electrical energy from one circuit to another through
inductively coupled conductors—the transformer's coils. A varying current in the first or primary winding creates
a varying magnetic flux in the transformer's core and thus a varying magnetic field through the secondary
winding. This varying magnetic field induces a varying electromotive force (EMF), or "voltage", in the secondary
winding. This effect is called inductive coupling.

STEP UP TRANSFORMER:
A step up transformer is one whose secondary voltage is greater than its primary voltage. TJ*e kind of
transformer "steps up" the voltage applied to it.
\
STEP DOWN TRANSFORMER:
A step down transformer is one whose primary voltage is greater than its secondary voltage.

OBJECTIVE:
To respond the given procedure and Display the results to visualize the Full-Wave Center tapped Rectifier
circuits.

APPARATUS:
 Transformer AC Centre tapped (Triad F-25X or equivalent) with fuse line cord
 Resistor1/4W (1kΩ)
 Silicon Diode(1N4001or equivalent)
 Digital multi meter
 Oscilloscope
 Connecting wires
 Jumper
 Crocodile wire
 Bread board

THEORY:

Another basic rectifier circuit is full wave center tapped rectifier circuit. The ripple frequency of full
wave rectifier circuit is twice to the input frequency. For a given transformer the unfiltered output of the
full wave rectifier ideally has a DC value of slightly less than half the RMS secondary voltage [45%).
While the unfiltered output of the bridge rectifier is slightly less than the RMS secondary voltage (90%].

In this experiment, you will build a type of rectifier & measure their input /output characteristics. Be
careful when connecting the transformer line voltage. The transformer should have a fused line cord with
all primary connections isolated to avoid electric shock.

OBJECTIVE:
To respond the given procedure and to construct the circuit of Base Biasing Technique of a
Transistor.

APPARATUS:
 Power supply 15V
 Transistor (2N3904)
 Resistor 1/2W (2.2kΩ, 22kΩ)
 Decade resistance box or potentiometer

THEORY:
A circuit like Fig 9-1 is referred to as base bias because its sets up a fixed base current. You can
calculate the base current by applying Ohm’s law to the total base resistance. This base current will
remain constant when you replaced transistor.
On the other hand the collector current equals the current gain time the base current. Because of
this the collector current may have large variation from one transistor to next. In other words the Q point
in a base bias circuit is heavily dependent on the value of βdc.

measure & record the corresponding VGS, ID& VDS value & then plot these values to form a set of drain
characteristics curve. Then you will complete the experiment by using this curve to determine the
transconductance of the FET.

PROCEDURE:

1. Construct the circuit shown in Fig 12-1.


2. Applied voltages to 1kΩ potentiometer. You will be using this potentiometer to control the drain-
to-source voltages (VDS) applied to the FET.
3. Turn the potentiometers fully clockwise & then turn on your circuit.
4. The gate-to-source voltage (VGS) applied to the FET will be zero. Adjust potentiometer until the
drain-to-source voltage (VDS) is equal to 1 volt.
5. Use the volt meter to measure the voltage across R4. Use this voltage reading & the resistance of
the R4 to calculate the FET’s drain current (ID) according to Ohm’s law. Record your calculated
value in table 12-1 ID (milliamperes).
6. Now adjust R1 so that VGS is equal to 0.25 volts.
7. Adjust the R5 until VDS is equal to 1 volt.
8. Use the volt meter to measure the voltage across R4. Use this voltage reading & the resistance of
the R4 to calculate the FET’s drain current (ID) according to Ohm’s law. Record your calculated
value in table 12-2 ID (milliamperes).
9. Now adjust R1 so that VGS is equal to 0.5 volts.
10. Adjust the R5 until VDS is equal to 1 volt.
11. Use the volt meter to measure the voltage across R4. Use this voltage reading & the resistance of
the R4 to calculate the FET’s drain current (ID) according to Ohm’s law. Record your calculated
value in table 12-3 ID (milliamperes).
12. Now adjust R1 so that VGS is equal to 0.75 volts.
13. Adjust the R5 until VDS is equal to 1 volt.
14. Use the volt meter to measure the voltage across R4. Use this voltage reading & the resistance of
the R4 to calculate the FET’s drain current (ID) according to Ohm’s law. Record your calculated
value in table 12-4 ID (milliamperes).
15. Now use the corresponding values of VDS& ID that you recorded in the table 12-1 to plot the drain
characteristic curves on the graph. Connect the various points plotted to form a continuous curve.
Label this curve VGS = 0.
16. Now use the corresponding values of VDS& ID that you recorded in the table 12-2to plot the drain
characteristic curves on the graph. Connect the various points plotted to form a continuous curve.
Label this curve VGS = 0.25.
17. Now use the corresponding values of VDS& ID that you recorded in the table 12-3to plot the drain
characteristic curves on the graph. Connect the various points plotted to form a continuous curve.
Label this curve VGS = 0.50.
18. Now use the corresponding values of VDS& ID that you recorded in the table 12-4to plot the drain
characteristic curves on the graph. Connect the various points plotted to form a continuous curve.
Label this curve VGS = 0.75.
19. Now use the set of drain characteristic curve that you plotted in graph to determine the
transconductance of FET. Select a constant value of VDS that is well above the pinch-off voltage
of the device (possibly 6 or 7 volts) & observe the change in ID when VGS changes from 0-to-0.25
volts.
Transconductance = ∆ ID

Experiment No:14
OBJECTIVE:
To follow the given procedure and Display the results to visualize the characteristics of JFET

APPARATUS:
• Power Supply (adjustable from 0 to 15V).
• Silicon Diode (1N914 or equivalent).
• Resistor (½W) 100Ω.
• JFET transistor.
• Functional Generator
• Oscilloscope

THEORY:

The purpose of this experiment is to use the oscilloscope to display the transfer characteristics
curve for the MPF102. This curve shows the parabolic or square law, variation of the drain current as a
function of the gate-to-source voltage. From such a curve it is possible to estimate JFET parameters such
as the drain current with gate shorted to source, IDSS; the gate-to-source cutoff voltage, VGS & the forward
Tran conductance, gm0. The values of these parameters are used in performing.

PROCEDURE:

1. Connect the circuit of Fig 13-1. The oscilloscope is set up to function as an X-Y plotter. Y input:
0.2V / division. X input sensitivity: 1V / division.
2. Now apply Power & Functional generator to the circuit.
3. Adjust frequency to 500 Hz & at a signal level sufficient to produce a display. The horizontal
input measured the JFET instantaneous gate-to-source voltage (VGS). The diode allows only
negative voltage variations, which serve as the drain-to-source voltage. The vertical input
measures the voltage dropped across the 100Ω resistor. As shown the display, the vertical axis
increases downward, this is inverted from the normal sense. Using Ohm’s Law, we can make the
vertical input read the JFET’s instantaneous drain current IDSS. If the vertical sensitivity is 0.2V /
division, then in the terms of the current through the 100Ω resistors (which is the same as the
drain current),

0.2V / division
Vertical sensitivity = --------------------
100Ω
= 2mA / division
4. Using Fig 13-1 as a guide both IDSS &VGS(off) for the JFET you are using. Record these values in
table 13-1.
5. From the value for IDSS &VGS(off) measure in step 4, calculate the JFET forward Tran conductance
at Zero gate-to-source voltage, gm0, & record this value in the table 13-1.
