- Start the Launcher. Then, go to the Lab Menu and select Exp 5.
- Use the Up-down Analyzer to solve the following problems:
- Problem 1:
What is the load current when VS = 24 V, VK = 0.7 V, RB = 10 ohms, and RL = 2.2 kohms?
- Problem 2:
What is the diode power when VS = 15 V, VK = 0.7 V, RB = 2 ohms, and RL = 470 ohms?
- Problem 3:
Design a circuit that meets these specifications: PL = 500 mW with a supply voltage of 12 V and a 1N4001.

| Experiment 6: Diode Approximations |
- Download the Up-down Analyzer for Exp 6 if you have not already done so. (Note: this program is the same as the Up-down Analyzer of Chap. 3 in the Text programs.)
- Start the Launcher. Then, go to the Lab Menu and select Exp 6.
- Use the Up-down Analyzer to solve the following problems.
- Remember to click the HOME button before starting each problem.
- Problem 1:
What is the load current if VS is changed to 48 V?
- Problem 2:
What is the current through R1 if R2 is changed to 10 ohms?
- Problem 3:
For what value of R3 does P3 equal 359 microwatts?
- Problem 4:
Design a circuit that meets these specifications: VS = 9 V, R1 = 2.2 kohms, R3 = 10 kohms, and V3 = 4 V. For this problem, design means finding the correct value of R3.
