EMT 1255 LAB 2

Lab 2 involved an in-depth exploration of diode characteristics under both forward and reverse bias conditions, with a focus on understanding the voltage-current relationship in different diode configurations. The primary objective was to analyze the behavior of the 1N914 diode when subjected to varying voltage levels and to observe the differences in performance when the diode was forward-biased versus reverse-biased. The experiment was divided into two key parts: the first centered on constructing and measuring the voltage drop and current flow across the diode in forward bias, while the second part focused on analyzing the diode's behavior in reverse bias, including the calculation of the extremely low current levels typical of this configuration.
