    Procedure:

    1. Make the circuit as shown in Fig 1 for the study of forward bias characteristics curve of all the diodes.

    2. Increase VD from 0 to 1 V for Si (zener diode) and 2V for LED and note the corresponding value of ID . Where,
    VD is the voltage measured by voltmeter(V) across diode and ID is the current measured by the ammeter(A)
    in series with the diode.
