How It Is Used
The diode is first connected in forward bias and the voltage raised in small steps with the fine control, recording current to show the knee of the curve. It is then reversed and tested on the 0–30 V and microamp ranges to show the small reverse current. Repeating with the second diode lets students compare silicon and germanium.
