Interpretation of Results

On the first part of this experiment we determine the resistance of the resistors
using two methods computed and the measures. Computed, was using the color on
the resistor to determine its value, and the measure is using the digital meter on the
resistor.
Values that were gotten from the oscilloscope were the basics, needed to
identify in order to be familiarized. The V/div is 1, this is how we can how many
volts are there from peak-to-peak, the frequency the inputted voltage, time base
setting, etc.
Next was the use of both the generator and the oscilloscope, we draw the wave
from the oscilloscope and the other values were also, mostly, just the same as the
previous procedure. The remaining values were just instructions on how to view
them using the function on the oscilloscope in order to be more familiarized,
identifying the difference of cursors from both time and voltage.
Conclusion
Familiarization is always important in order for us, the students, to be able to
work properly on the next experiments without needing to always look for guidelines
and ask the professor to help us. So we can say that the objective of this experiment.
I recommend that even though this is just basic for us non-EECE students, we
should still be able to use or at least be familiarized with the most up-to-date devices
that are being used in the industry. I think that it would help us be able to have more
edge and be knowledgeable on the field.
Interpretation of Results
On this experiment we discuss forward-bias and reverse-bias on circuits. On
the first procedure we test for the diode test and ohmmeter test of both forward and
reverse bias, and the results, as predicted, that the forward bias has greater values
than the reverse bias since forward-bias lets the current flow while not the same can
be said on reverse-bias.
Next was to follow a diagram given, then follow the task and determine the
volt passing through the diode and with it solve for the current passing, sine the
resistor can be identified through the digital meter or by simply analyzing the color
on the resistor. This was done on both forward and reverse bias, the current flows
freely on the forward-bias because it can cope up with the voltage barrier, while the
reverse bias cannot making no current to be able to flow.
For the last part we were tasked to test the following voltage on the system,
so the first one was -4 V dc. There is no such thing as a negative voltage which
means that this is a reverse-bias set-up, so we set the voltage on the generator at 4 V
and put the following wires on a reverse-bias set up, then we test, using the digital
multimeter, the diode voltage, voltage across, and the diode current (computed).
Almost all of the voltage across on reverse bias setup were 0, which means that there
is no flow of current. After 4 trials of reverse-bias we then go to forward-bias, and
as can be seen on the results it is much more different. At the last part we were asked
for the approximate voltage for the forward-bias, it is the voltage where in the current
begins to increase rapidly and what we answered was 0.6 V since it can be seen that
when the diode voltage the current starts to increase rapidly.
Conclusion
The reverse-bias and forward-bias are very important basic concept to be
familiarized, I believe that the future experiments will have something to do with
this principles. The most important part to be remembered was the flow of the current
and the voltage barrier of the diode. When at reverse bias no matter how big the vault
applied there will still be no current flowing, continuously, a system may work
because of the large voltage applied but it will then be destroyed instantly because
it cannot keep up with the big load. The same goes for the forward-bias, voltage must
still be regulated in order for the system to work properly and continuously without
being damaged.
