part1 : Forward Bias
Procedure – Forward Bias
1. Set up the circuit with the semiconductor diode in forward bias as shown and set
the voltage supply to 9 V.

circuit
2. Adjust the potential divider to obtain different values for the voltage V and hence
for the current I.
3. Obtain at least ten values for V and for I using the voltmeter and the milliammeter.
4. Plot a graph of I against V and join the points in a smooth, continuous curve.
