Diode In Simple Circuit

Diode In Simple Circuit

Effect of diode connection type on voltage drop across a resistor.

Part of the course: Electronics & Sensing β€” Diodes, Light & Infrared

Mission

The effect of connection type of a diode in a simple circuit on the voltage drop across a resistor.

Variables

What you change

  • Diode bias

What you measure

  • Voltage Drop

What you keep constant

  • Wire length
  • Wire cross section
  • The voltage of the power source
  • Temperature of wire

Equations

V_Bat = Battery Voltage

V_D = Diode Voltage

V_R = Resistance Volage

V_Bat = V_D + V_R
