a Zener diode Debangshu Mukherjee BS.c Physics,1st Year Chennai Mathematical Institute 7.11.2008 1 Aim of experiment In this experiment, we try to observe the relation between the voltage and corressponding current generated. We will then plot it to get the depen-dence. 2 Apparatus required a)A Zener diode b)A DC voltage supplier c)Bread board ...
A Zener Diode is a special kind of diode which permits current to flow in the forward direction as normal, but will also allow it to flow in the reverse direction when the voltage is above the breakdown voltage or ‘zener’ voltage.u000b Zener diodes are designed so that their breakdown voltage is much lower - for example just 2.4 Volts.
The fact that the voltage across the diode in the breakdown region is almost constant turns out to be an important application of the zener diode as a voltage regulator . Characteristics. Figure 2 shows the current versus voltage curve for a Zener diode. Observe the nearly constant voltage in the breakdown region. Fig 2: Zener diode ...
Zener diode experiment on breadboard with real laboratory like feeling and step to step guide.===== Thanks for WatchingPlease leave a...
In Figure 5-1, an often used Zener diode voltage regulator is shown. The function of a voltage regulator is to provide a constant low ripple output voltage under varying load current conditions. While very high quality voltage regulators are available in integrated circuits, at times it may be sufficient and convenient to use a simple Zener ...
Aim of the experiment. At the end of the experiment, the student will be able to. Explain the function of a Zener diode; Explain Zener Diode as Voltage Regulator
