    This document provides instructions for building and testing a circuit with a zener diode. Students are asked to: 1. Build the circuit with a zener diode, 330 ohm resistor, 1k resistor, and power supply. 2. Vary the power supply from 1-20V and measure the voltage across components. 3. Calculate the currents through each component and record results in a table. 4. Graph the results and determine if a 350mW zener can be used based on maximum and minimum zener currents.

    1. Build the circuit below.
    2. Set the power supply as low as possible and apply it to the circuit. Use a potentiometer
    to get down to 1V.
    3. Measure the following and fill it in on the table:
    3.1 Voltage across the zener diode V
    Z
    .
    3.2 Voltage across the series resistor V
    S
    = 330 and calculate the total current I
    T
    .
    3.3 Voltage across the load resistor (1k) and calculate the load current I
    L.
    4. Subtract I
    L
    from I
    T
    to get I
    Z
    and fill it in on the table.
    5. Repeat 3 and 4 for the other voltages on the table and draw the graphs on the next
    page.
    6. Calculate I
    Z(MAX)
    and I
    Z(MIN)
    to determine if a 350mW zener can be used in this circuit.
