Set Problem 1

This laboratory report summarizes experiments conducted on circuits containing diodes and resistors. Key findings include: 1) In a forward biased diode, current flows and the diode drops around 0.6V. In reverse bias, little to no current flows and the voltage across the diode is the same as the supply. 2) Adding a second resistor in parallel decreased the voltage across each component slightly but increased the total current in the circuit. 3) A circuit with two different diodes showed the expected 0.6V drop for one diode but a higher 0.9V drop for the other diode, with currents dividing between the parallel paths.

SCHEMATIC 1:

b. Determine the voltage across the resistor (R1) and diode (D1)

VR1 = 9.358 V
VD = 641.6mV

c. Find the forward current (ID)

d. Graph the V-I (voltage-current) characteristic of figure 1.17.


e. Reverse the orientation of the diode (connecting the cathode to the positive terminal of the supply).

Determine the voltage across the resistor (R1) and diode (D1).

VR1 = 408.43 nV or approx. 0 V

f. Determine the reverse saturation current


ID = -86.9 pA or approx. 0 A
g. Explain the characteristics of the diode in forward and reverse biased condition.

In the forward biased if the anode connects to the positive polarity of the voltage source the in
the conventional flow theory, the current will flow and also it can reduce the voltage by acquiring voltage
drop of the given type of diode. But if the cathode connects to the positive side the current will stop in
the same flow. Note that this principle works on Series Circuit and it gives another principle in Parallel
Circuit.

h. Undo the changes to figure 1.17. NOTE: Do not forget to add ground to the circuit before simulation.

f. What happened to the diode (D1) and diode (D2) during the entire adjustment of the voltage

source?

When the voltage source becomes higher, the chances of both D1 and D2 become higher but the
margin of the voltage become so much far. As you notice the voltage from 0.1 v and 5 v and their diodes
are way too far. In first voltage source the percentage that the voltage drop in diodes is almost 100% and
it goes down when the source become much more higher.

g. What is the threshold voltage of D1N4001 and D1N34A?

The threshold voltage of D1 and D2 are 656.322 and 894.4 mV respectively.

h. How do diodes D1 and D2 affect the configuration of the circuit (figure 1.20)?

Since diode are the reducing the voltage drop for the both nodes that connects the diodes, the
overall current will reduce and it will serves as another resistor for the whole circuit. Even though It gives
the smaller voltage drop but it will help the whole circuit to retain the balance and the risk of eddy current.
