 1. Introduction

The Semiconductor diodes were the first semiconductor electronic

devices. The most common function of a diode is to allow an electric
current to pass in one direction (called the diode's forward direction), while
blocking current in the opposite direction (the reverse direction). In this
assessment, the task will be divided into two parts. In Task1 you will carry
out practical investigation to verify the operation of diode in Dc and Ac
circuits using appropriate engineering software tool. In Task 2, students
are required to write the analysis and conclusion from the

TASK 2: ANALYSIS & CONCLUSION [ 20 marks]

Student Name: ……………………………………… Student ID: …………..

Based on individual understanding, analyze and conclude your observations

and findings from the result obtained in Task 1.

1) Figure 1 and Figure 2

Figure 1(a) is a Half Wave Rectifier and the circuit in forward bias. Since the circuit in
forward bias, the voltage at (VRL1) is 3.36V because there some voltage drop for the active
diode that roughly 0.7V. Figure 1(b) is also a half wave rectifier but it is in reverse bias.
Since the circuit is in reverse bias there is no voltage pass through the diode( consider open
circuit) because the diod is in reverse bias. Figure 2 is negative series clipper circuit. This
circuit will clip off potions of signal voltage .
