INTRODUCTION TO BIASING

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This problem is one of BIASING.
Figure out the correct voltage and current needed for the component to operate properly.

Circuit representation of the experiment with measurement equipment:

Actual experiment:

(Includes - 1 battery, 2 voltmeters, 2 LEDs, 1 breadboard)

 Available Resistors of 350 Ohms and 220 Ohms were used in this experiment

We measured current and voltage drop 

 Data gathered from experiment:

Conclusion: The experiment was a success, our theoretical values were very close to our experimental values. The difference may be accounted for by the change of resistors. The resistance that the experiment was asking for was not available in class. The experiment resulted in a 40% power out of the power supply meaning that 60% was consumed by the resistors in place. The specific voltage and current values accepted before the diodes burn out are listed in the above chart. After 12 minutes the battery voltage will drop too low for the circuit to operate properly.
