To draw the I - V characteristic curve for a Zener diode in reverse bias and hence to determine its breakdown voltage

ZENER DIODE CHARACTERISTICS


Zener diode is also known as the breakdown diode. It's been heavily doped with a silicon crystal diode designed to operate in the reverse direction. Hence it's known as the Zener diode. When the voltage across the terminals of a Zener diode is reversed, potential reaches the Zener voltage OR (Knee Voltage)

Clarence Zener, described the property concerning the breakdown of electrical insulators.





    Aim of the experiment :


    To draw the I - V characteristic curve for a Zener diode in reverse bias and hence to determine its breakdown voltage


    Apparatus required :

    1. Connecting wires
    2. Zener Diode
    3. Micro Ammeter
    4. Voltmeter
    5. Rheostat
    6. Plug Key
    7. Battery

    Principle of the experiment :


    Zener Diode is a special-purpose diode designed to work in reverse bias. At the breakdown region, the reverse voltage remains constant for a large change in current. Thus Zener diode acts as a voltage regulator.



    Circuit diagram :

    The circuit diagram for a Zener diode in reverse bias and hence to determine its breakdown voltage

    I - V characteristic curve for a Zener diode in reverse bias

    Nature of Graph :


    I - V characteristic curve for a Zener diode in reverse bias



    Procedure :

    • The circuit is constructed as shown in the diagram.
    • Rheostat is adjusted for a suitable value of voltage V. Corresponding value of I is noted.
    • Voltage is increased in small steps and each time corresponding current value is tabulated. 
    • A graph is plotted with V along the negative X - axis and I along the negative Y - axis.
    • Breakdown voltage is noted from the graph.



    Observation :

    Note down the observed values in the respective tabular column below.
