V-I Characteristics of Diode under Forward bias
Procedure:
1. Set DC voltage to 0.2 V .
2. Select the diode.
3. Set the resistor.
4. Voltmeter is placed parallel to Silicon diode and ammeter series with resistor.
5. The positive side of battery to the P side(anode) and the negative of battery to the side(cathode) of the diode.
6. Now vary the voltage upto 5V and note the Voltmeter and Ammeter reading for particular DC voltage .
7. Take the readings and note Voltmeter reading across Silicon diode and Ammeter reading.
8. Plot the V-I graph and observe the change.
9. Calculate the dynamic resistance of the diode. Rd=ΔV/ΔI
10. Therefore from the graph we see that the diode starts conducting when the forward bias voltage
exceeds around 0.6 volts (for Si diode). This voltage is called cut-in voltage.
V-I Characteristics of Diode under Reverse bias
Procedure:

3. Set the resistor.
4. Voltmeter is placed parallel to Silicon diode and ammeter series with resistor.
5. The positive terminal of battery is connected to the N side(cathode) and the negative terminal of battery is
connected to the P side(anode) of a diode.
6. Now vary the voltage upto 30V and note the Voltmeter and Ammeter reading for DC voltage .
7. Take the readings and note Voltmeter reading across Silicon diode and Ammeter reading.

Experiment No: 4 Integrator
Procedure:
1. Set the resistance® and the capacitance © (Intially set R=10 kΩ and C=0.1 µF).
2. Click on ‘ON’ button to start th experiment.
3. Click on ‘Square Wave’ button to generate input waveform.
4. Click on ‘Oscilloscope’ button to get the output waveform.
5. Vary the Amplitude, Frequency, volt/div using the controllers.
6. Click on “Dual” button to observe both the waveform.
7. Channel 1 shows the input square waveform, Channel 2 shows the output waveform.
8. At high frequencies the capacitor was not allowed to have enough time to charge or discharge fully, in this
case thus we have the square wave as input signal which generates triangle waveform as output but with less
amplitude
