Aim:
Forward & Reverse characteristics of PN Junction Diode
Equipment:
Bread Board, Multimeter, PN Junction Diode IN4001, Resistor (1kohm), Power Supply and connecting wires
Theory:
Donor impurities (pentavalent) are introduced into one-side and acceptor impurities into the other side of a single crystal of an intrinsic semiconductor to form a p-n diode with a junction called depletion region (this region is depleted off the charge carriers). This region gives rise to a potential barrier Vγ called Cut- in Voltage. This is the voltage across the diode at which it starts conducting. The P-N junction can conduct beyond this Potential.
The P-N junction supports uni-directional current flow. If +ve terminal of the input supply is connected to anode (P-side) and –ve terminal of the input supply is connected to cathode (N- side), then diode is said to be forward biased. In this condition the height of the potential barrier at the junction is lowered by an amount equal to given forward biasing voltage. Both the holes from p-side and electrons from n-side cross the junction simultaneously and constitute a forward current (injected minority current – due to holes crossing the junction and entering N-side of the diode, due to electrons crossing the junction and entering P-side of the diode).
Assuming current flowing through the diode to be very large, the diode can be approximated as short-circuited switch. If –ve terminal of the input supply is connected to anode (p-side) and +ve terminal of the input supply is connected to cathode (n-side) then the diode is said to be reverse biased. In this condition an amount equal to reverse biasing voltage increases the height of the potential barrier at the junction. Both the holes on p-side and electrons on n-side tend to move away from the junction thereby increasing the depleted region. However the process cannot continue indefinitely, thus a small current called reverse saturation current continues to flow in the diode. This small current is due to thermally generated carriers. Assuming current flowing through the diode to be negligible, the diode can be approximated as an open circuited switch.
The volt-ampere characteristics of a diode explained by following equation: I = Io(Exp(V/ ηVT)-1)
I=current flowing in the diode Io=reverse saturation current V=voltage applied to the diode
VT=volt-equivalent of temperature=kT/q=T/11,600=26mV(@ room temp). η=1 (for Ge) and 2 (for Si)

Theory:
In circuit theory, Thevenin's theorem for linear electrical networks states that any combination of voltage sources, current sources and resistors with two terminals is electrically equivalent to a single voltage source Eth and a single series resistor R. The Thevenin voltage Eth used in thevenin's theorem is an ideal voltage source equal to the open circuit voltage at the terminals whereas the thevenin resistance r used in Thevenin's Theorem is the resistance measured at terminals AB with all voltage sources replaced by short circuits and all current sources replaced by open circuits.
Procedure:
Thevenin Theorem
- Connect the circuit as shown in figure 1 on the breadboard - Measure the voltage across AB (i.e. p.d. across load resistor). - Remove load resistor (for first case it is 4.7KΩ).
- Measure the open circuit voltage across AB with the help of multimeter (Placing positive terminal of multimeter at A and negative at B)
- Measure the Thevenin’s resistance with the help of multimeter (with short circuiting voltage sources and open circuiting current sources (if any)

Bipolar junction transistor (BJT) is a 3 terminal (emitter, base, collector) semiconductor device. There are two types of transistors namely NPN and PNP. It consists of two P-N junctions namely emitter junction and collector junction.
In Common Emitter configuration the input is applied between base and emitter and the output is taken from collector and emitter. Here emitter is common to both input and output and hence the name common emitter configuration.
Input characteristics are obtained between the input current and input voltage taking output voltage as parameter. It is plotted between VBE and IB at constant VCE in CE configuration.
Output characteristics are obtained between the output voltage and output current taking input current as parameter. It is plotted between VCE and IC at constant IB in CE configuration.

Aim:
Study and verification of JFET characteristics
Equipment:
Bread Board, Multimeter, Resistors, JFET, Power Supply and connecting wires
Theory:
The field effect transistor (FET) is made of a bar of N type material called the SUBSTRATE with a P type junction (the gate) diffused into it. With a positive voltage on the drain, with respect to the source, electron current flows from source to drain through the CHANNEL.
If the gate is made negative with respect to the source, an electrostatic field is created, which squeezes the channel and reduces the current. If the gate voltage is high enough the channel will be "pinched off" and the current will be zero.
The FET is voltage controlled, unlike the transistor which is current controlled. This device is sometimes called the junction FET or IGFET or JFET. If the FET is accidentally forward biased, gate current will flow and the FET will be destroyed.
To avoid this, an extremely thin insulating layer of silicon oxide is placed between the gate and the channel. The device is then known as an insulated gate FET, or IGFET or metal oxide semiconductor FET(MOSTFET) Drain characteristics are obtained between the drain to source voltage (VDS) and drain current (ID) taking gate to source voltage (VGS) as the parameter.

Aim:
Forward and reverse characteristics of Zener diode.
Equipment:
Bread Board, Multimeter, Resistors, Zener diode, Power Supply and connecting wires
Theory:
An ideal P-N Junction diode does not conduct in reverse biased condition. A zener diode conducts excellently even in reverse biased condition. These diodes operate at a precise value of voltage called break down voltage. A zener diode when forward biased behaves like an ordinary P-N junction diode. A zener diode when reverse biased can either undergo avalanche break down or zener break down.
Avalanche break down:-If both p-side and n-side of the diode are lightly doped, depletion region at the junction widens. Application of a very large electric field at the junction may rupture covalent bonding between electrons. Such rupture leads to the generation of a large number of charge carriers resulting in avalanche multiplication.
Zener break down:-
If both p-side and n-side of the diode are heavily doped, depletion region at the junction reduces. Application of even a small voltage at the junction ruptures covalent bonding and generates large number of charge carriers. Such sudden increase in the number of charge carriers results in zener mechanism.

Aim:
Verification of Norton’s theorem
Equipment:
Bread Board, DMM, resistors, connecting wires etc
Theory:
Norton's theorem holds, to illustrate in DC circuit theory terms, that:
Any linear electrical network with voltage and current sources and only resistances can be replaced at terminals A-B by an equivalent current source INO in parallel connection with an
equivalent resistance RNO.
This equivalent current INO is the current obtained at terminals A-B of the network with
terminals A-B short circuited.
This equivalent resistance RNO is the resistance obtained at terminals A-B of the network with
all its voltage sources short circuited and all its current sources open circuited.
For AC systems the theorem can be applied to reactive impedances as well as resistances.
The Norton equivalent circuit is used to represent any network of linear sources and impedances at a given frequency.
Any black box containing resistances only and voltage and current sources can be replaced by an equivalent circuit consisting of an equivalent current source in parallel connection with an equivalent resistance.
Norton's theorem and its dual, Thévenin's theorem, are widely used for circuit analysis simplification and to study circuit's initial-condition and steady-state response.
Norton’s Theorem can be used for two purposes:
1) to calculate the voltage across (or current through) any component in any circuit, or

Procedure:
Step 1: Remove the resistor (R) across which you desire to calculate the voltage. Label these terminals “a” and “b”. Short these terminals together and determine the current that flows through this short. Call this short-circuit current In.
Step 2: With the terminal “opened” and sources replaced with their internal resistances (if any), calculate the resistance “looking back” from the open terminals. This resistance is Rn.
Step 3: The voltage you wish to calculate will be: E = In (Rn parallel with R)
Where: In is from Step 1, Rn is from Step 2, and R is the value of the resistor removed in Step 1.
