DIODE CHARECTERISTICS

AIM To plot the characteristics of a pn diode and to find its the cut in voltage and the dynamic resistance. COMPONENTS AND EQUIPMENTS REQUIRED 1. DC supply 2. Diodes 3. Voltmeter 4. Ammeter 5. Rheostat CIRCUIT DIAGRAM THEORY A diode is the basic electronic component. It’s property is that it can conduct only in one direction. A diode can be made by joining a p type semiconductor and an n type semiconductor. At the junction point there will be a voltage drop due to the migration of carriers. The voltage at this barrier is known as barrier potential. Ideally…
