This document describes an experiment on the characteristics of Zener diodes. The experiment uses a regulated power supply, Zener diode, resistances, multimeter and connecting wires. The procedure involves connecting the circuit as shown, varying the input voltage while keeping the load resistance constant to note the output voltage, and plotting the resulting graph. It also involves keeping the input voltage constant while varying the load resistance to note the corresponding readings. A data table is used to record the readings and a lab report on the experiment is required.
11. Connect the circuit as shown in figure.
Keep load resistance constant.
Vary input voltage and note down
output voltage. Plot the graph of
voltage & forward current.
Now keep input voltage constant and
vary load resistance. Note down
corresponding readings.
