    The document describes an experiment to observe and plot the forward and reverse voltage-current (V-I) characteristics of a P-N junction diode. The experiment involves constructing circuits to apply forward and reverse bias to the diode and measuring the corresponding voltage and current values. The forward bias measurements are taken by applying voltages from 0.1V to 1V and recording the voltage and current. Reverse bias measurements are taken from 0V to 20V. The recorded values will then be plotted on graphs to observe the diode characteristics under forward and reverse bias.

    11: Characteristics of P-N Junction Diode

    1. Objective
    The objective of this experiment is to observe and plot forward and reverse V-I Characteristics of a P-N
    junction diode.

    2. Apparatus
    • Resistor (470Ω, 1k Ω)
    • Bread Board
    • Digital Multi-meter
    • Variable DC power supply(maximum 30V)
    • Diode

    3. Theory
    Diodes are semiconductor devices which have conductivity between conductors and insulators. By the
    process of doping, P type and N type semiconductors are formed. By doping with penta-valent and trivalent
    element, P-N junction diode is form.

    Application of voltage across a diode, transistor etc. is called Biasing. A diode can be in three states. It can
    be in an unbiased, forward biased or reverse biased condition. In forward biased condition, positive terminal
    of diode is connected to positive terminal of battery while in reverse biased condition; they are connected
    in reverse polarities as shown in the Figure 11.1 (a) and (b).
