2.) Attach an Oscilloscope with internal resistance [math] R_{scope}= 1M\Omega[/math]. The scope will measure the voltage drop across R and thus the current will be given by this voltage difference divided by R.

3.) Determine a value for R which will allow you to measure a current of at least 10 mA (prefeferably 50 mA) at the diodes reverse bias cut off voltage. Show your power calculation. (5 pnts)


4.) Measure the diode reverse current [math]1 \mu A \lt I_r \lt 40 mA[/math] as a function of the DC supply voltage.

5.) Fill in the blank. The reverse biased diode act as a constant _______________ source. (5 pnts)

Forward Current

1.) now swap the diode direction and repeat the measurement in the previous section.

2.) Attach an Oscilloscope with internal resistance [math] R_{scope}= 1M\Omega[/math]. The scope will measure the voltage drop across R and thus the current will be given by this voltage difference divided by R.

3.) Determine a value for R which will allow you to measure a current of at least 10 mA (prefeferably 50 mA) at the diodes reverse bias cut off voltage.
