1. When checking the diode in forward biasing, what is the reading of the
multimeter.
low resistance and voltage will be 0.6V
2. When checking the diode in reverse biasing, what is the reading of the
multimeter
high resistance or no voltage drop (usually an open circuit).
R= Vd / Id
4. Using the values obtained for ID and VD in Tables 1 and 2, plot the I-V characteristic curve of
thediode. Plot I on the vertical axis and VD on the horizontal axis
