    The document summarizes a lab experiment on diodes conducted by an electrical engineering student. The objectives were to understand the working principle and applications of diodes. The student measured the forward voltage of a diode across different currents and plotted the results on a graph to obtain the diode's mathematical model. He also answered questions about using diodes for AC versus DC applications.

    Theory:
    If p-type and n-type semi conductors are joined together at a junction a pn-juntion diode is
    formed. The holes and electrons are combine , but only for a narrow region right at junction. The
    reason for a narrow region of recombination is that p type becomes negatively charged as holes
    moves to n type , and n type becomes negatively charged as electrons move to the p type. The
    narrow region is called “depletion region” or the space charge region or the space charge region
    because it contains no mobile carriers .
    If a dc voltage applied across the pn-junction diode , the p type is made positive with respect to n
    type are forced closer together. Therefore the probability of majority charge carriers passing
    across the depletion region or barrier is increased.
    In fig 1.1 b, the diode is now reversed biased , the potential barrier at the junction is increased
    and the width of depletion region is increased. The effect is to reduce the probability of majority
    charge carriers crossing the barrier. The reverse current IR , due to minority carriers is very
    small.

    Procedure:
     Set the module IT-1005 and then locate the diode block
     According to fig 1.2 and 1.3 complete experiment circuit with short circuit clips.

     Apply +12V to +12V terminal


     Using the voltmeter , measure and record the voltage between the end terminals 1 and 3
    of VRI EVRI =_____________V
     The VRI is used for adjusting the voltage applied to diode DI and the R1 is a current
    limit resistor for protecting the diode D1.
     Turn VRI is used for adjusting the voltage across R1 to obtain 0.1 V
     This will obtain a forward current If= 0.1 Ma through DI
     When the IF reaches 0.1 m A, measures the voltage across D1 and record it as VF in table
    1.1 complete the other measurements of VF values in table 1.1 by adjusting the VRI.

    Plot the recorded values of IF and VF of table 1.1 on the graph of fig 1.4 .

     Then draw a smooth curve through these plotted points. This curve is the IF

    Question Answers:
    Q. NO:1
    Diode is for AC or for DC?
    ANSWER:
    When a diode is used with DC it either allows current to flow, or stops it. When it does allow
    current to flow the overall voltage is reduced by the diodes forward voltage drop. When a diode
    is used with AC it will only conduct during half of the cycle.
    Q.NO:2
    Why diode is used for DC?
    ANSWER:
    The primary purpose of a diode is to conduct electricity in one direction and not the other. When
    a diode is used with DC it either allows current to flow, or stops it. When it does allow current

    to flow the overall voltage is reduced by the diodes forward voltage drop.
