1. P-N JUNCTION DIODE CHARACTERISTICS
AIM:-To observe and draw the Forward and Reverse bias V-I Characteristics of a P-N Junction diode.
APPARATUS:-
P-N Diode IN4007. Regulated Power supply (0-30v) Resistor 1KΩ Ammeters (0-200 mA, 0-500mA) Voltmeter (0-20 V) Bread board Connecting wires
THEORY:-
A p-n junction diode conducts only in one direction. The V-I characteristics of the diode are curve between voltage across the diode and current through the diode. When external voltage is zero, circuit is open and the potential barrier does not allow the current to flow. Therefore, the circuit current is zero. When P-type (Anode is connected to +ve terminal and n- type (cathode) is connected to –ve terminal of the supply voltage, is known as forward bias. The potential barrier is reduced when diode is in the forward biased condition. At some forward voltage, the potential barrier altogether eliminated and current starts flowing through the diode and also in the circuit. The diode is said to be in ON state. The current increases with increasing forward
