After building experiment 3's circuit, i had to find the value of Vz, for 3 different Vs. 10V,12V and 15V. After finding Vz for each Vs I found that no matter what the Vs the Zener diode would regualte the voltage down to 5V and then the resistors would use the rest of the voltage.
This type of circuit would be used to regulate voltage to other components.
When you set the zener diode in foward bias, it fails to regulate the voltage so to much voltage gets through.

ReplyDeleteJono can you show me your results from the experiment (including any calculations) then you can refer to them when you explain the experiment
