OPERATIONAL PROCESS
Experiment Steps
- Check the transistor terminals and status.
- Assemble the circuit in Fig. 1.1 and measure the following values:
- VE = 0V
- VC = 5.29V
- R3.9K = 3.85KΩ
- VBE = 0.65V
- VCE = 5.29V
- R1.5M = 1.5MΩ
- IE = IC = 0.97mA
- Place a bulb near the transistor for 30 seconds, then observe and record:
- VCE = 5.18V
- VE = 0V
- IC = 0.98mA
- VC = 5.18V
- Assemble the circuit in Fig. 1.2 and repeat Step 2.
- Assemble the circuit
