Diode

During this lab we were introduced to diodes and transistors, the diode essentially allows current to pass through in one direction while blocking any current from entering from the opposite direction, the transistor can be utilized as a switch or even an amplifier, which is what we used it in for our circuit.

 

Using the breadboard we constructed the circuit that we were given in a diagram consisting of resistors, capacitors, diodes, and transistors .

 

 

 

We used that circuit as well as a phone and speaker to amplify the sound from the phone. We observed the two differing waves from the transistor and diode and the wave function generator.
