Lesson details

Lesson outcome

I can interpret an I–V graph of a diode in order to describe its properties.

Show transcript
The properties of a diode are different, depending on the direction of p.d. across it. An appropriate range of p.d. includes 0 V and the maximum voltage of the diode and at least four other readings. An appropriate range for a diode includes the maximum p.d. in both directions, with positive and negative values. For electricity investigations, it is good practice to take many more than the minimum number of measurements.
