 Diode Silicon 01

Circuit Diagram

Figure 1: Positive Biased Series Clipper

 Figure 2: Negative Biased Series Clipper

Procedure

1. Connecting the elements in a circuit on bread board as shown in the circuit diagram
2. Use a battery in series with a diode. This is called Biased Voltage.
3. Connect the function generator with input probe of the Clamper circuit.
4. Observe output voltages on oscilloscope by connecting the oscilloscope across the load resistor.
