    The document describes studying the voltage-current (V-I) characteristics of a P-N junction diode. The apparatus includes a power supply, voltmeter, ammeter and resistors. When forward biased, current flows through the diode, while in reverse bias current is blocked. The procedure records voltage and current values at varying input voltages to plot the diode's I-V graph showing its rectifying behavior.

    V-I characteristics of P-N junction diode

    Aim: To study the V-I characteristics of a P-N junction diode.


    Apparatus: Power Supply (0-30V), Voltmeter (0-30V), Ammeter (mA range),
    Resistors, P-N junction diode

    Theory: The diode is a device formed from a junction of P-type and N-type
    semiconductor materials. The lead connected to the P-type material is called
    the anode and the lead connected to the N-type material is the cathode. In
    general, the cathode of a diode is marked by a solid line on the diode. The
    primary function of the diode is rectification. When it is forward biased (the
    higher potential is connected to the anode lead), it will pass current. When it
    is reversed biased (the higher potential is connected to the cathode lead),
    current flow is blocked.
