Project Aim:

To understand the functioning of a diode under forward-biased conditions.

Components Used:

1. Power Supply

2. LED

3. Resistor 220Ω

4. Diode

5. Connecting Wires

Circuit Diagram:

Connection Procedure:

Step 1: Connect the positive terminal of the power supply (Pin 62) to one end of the resistor 220Ω (R2, Pins 4).

Step 2: Connect the other end of the resistor 220Ω (Pin 3) to the anode of the Diode (Pin 82).

Step 3: Connect the cathode of the Diode (Pin 81) to the anode of the LED (Pin 43).

Step 4: Connect the cathode of the LED (Pin 44) to the negative terminal of the power supply (Pin 59).

Explanation:

In this project, we explore the concept of a diode, an essential electronic component with two terminals: anode (+Ve) and cathode (-Ve). When the anode is connected to the positive terminal of a battery and the cathode to the negative terminal, the diode is forward biased. In this state, it behaves like a closed switch, allowing current to flow through it. As a result, the connected output activates, and if an LED is part of the circuit, it will illuminate. This project aims to elucidate the operational principles of diodes in forward bias mode, crucial for various electronic applications.
