The Zener Diode

[math]I_{Zmax}[/math]

  1. Construct the circuit below making sure the zener diode is oriented correctly.
  2. Choose a resister [math]R[/math] which will allow you to cover the range [math]I_Z \approx 1 mA[/math] and [math]I_Z\approx \frac{1}{2} I_{Z max}[/math] for the voltage range of your power supply.
  3. use a a digital multimeter to measure [math]V_z[/math] for several values of [math]I_z[/math].
