The algebraic sum of current flowing through a node is zero. At a junction or node
the sum of current entering a node is equal to sum of current leaving the node.
Mathematically:
When applying KCL, the current directions (entering or leaving a node) are based on
the assumed directions of the currents.
Also need to decide whether currents entering the node are positive or negative;
this dictates the sign of the currents leaving the node.
As long all assumptions are consistent, the final result will reflect the actual current
directions in the circuit.
The algebraic sum of all voltages around any closed loop is zero.
Equivalently: The sum of the voltage rises around a closed loop is equal to the sum of
the voltage drops around the loop.

Thevenins Theorem
Thevenins theorem states that, A linear two-terminal circuit can be replaced by
an equivalent circuit consisting of a voltage source Vth with a series resistor Rth, where
Vth is the open-circuit voltage at the terminals and Rth is the equivalent resistance at
the terminals when the independent sources are turned off.
It is a method to reduce a network to an equivalent circuit consisting of a single
voltage source , series resistor and a series load.
This theorem is the one of the most extensively used network theorem. It is used to
determine the current through or voltage across any one element in a network without going
through solving of a set of network equations.

SUPERPOSITION THEOREM
Superposition theorem states that In a linear circuit containing several independent sources
sources, the current or voltage of a circuit element equals the algebraic sum of the component
voltages or currents produced by the independent sources acting alone.
This theorem applies only to independent sources and not to dependent sources. It applies only to
find voltages and currents. There are two guiding properties of superposition theorem: property of
homogeneity or proportionality and the property of additivity. Limitation of theorem- Power in an
element is not a linear response. Hence it is not possible to apply superposition theorem directly to
determine power associated with an element.

Reciprocity Theorem
If a voltage source E acting in one branch of a network causes a current I to flow in another
branch of the network, then the same voltage source E acting in the second branch would cause an
identical current I to flow in the first branch.
Forms of the reciprocity theorems are used in many electromagnetic applications, such as
analyzing electrical networks and antenna systems. For example, reciprocity implies that antennas
work equally well as transmitters or receivers, and specifically that an antenna's radiation and
receiving patterns are identical.

PN Junction Diode
A PN junction diode is a two terminal device that is polarity sensitive. When the
diode is forward biased, the diode conducts and allows current to flow through it without any
resistance. When the diode is reverse biased, the diode does not conduct and no current flows
through it, i.e. the diode is OFF, or providing a blocking function. Thus an ideal diode act as
a switch, either open or closed, depending upon the polarity of the voltage placed across it.
The ideal diode has zero resistance under forward bias and infinite resistance under reverse
bias.
PROCEDURE:

2) For forward bias of PN diode, anode is connected to the positive of power supply and

3) Switch on the power supply and increase the supply voltage in steps.
4) Measure the voltage drop across diode (VF) and current flowing through the diode

5) Tabulate the readings and plot the VI characteristics.

1) Connections are given as per the circuit diagram using connecting wires.
2) For reverse bias of PN diode, cathode is connected to the positive of power supply

for each and every step of input voltage.

Zener Diode
When the reverse voltage reaches break down voltage in normal PN junction diode,
the current through the junction and the power dissipated at the junction will be high. Such
an operation is destructive and the diode gets damaged. Whereas diodes can be designed with
adequate power dissipation capabilities to operate in the break down region. One such diode
is known as Zener Diode. Zener diode is heavily doped than the ordinary diode. It is found
that the operation of zener diode is same as that of ordinary PN diode under forward biased
condition. Whereas under reverse biased condition, break down of the junction occurs. The
break down voltage depends upon the amount of doping. If the diode is heavily doped,
depletion layer will be thin and, consequently break down occurs at lower reverse voltage
and further, the break down voltage is sharp. Whereas a lightly doped diode has a higher
break down voltage. Thus break down voltage can be selected with the amount of doping.

THEORY
Bipolar junction transistor (BJT) is a 3 terminal (emitter, base, collector)
semiconductor device and can be operated in three configurations: Common Base(CB),
Common Emitter(CE), Common Collector(CC). BJTs are of two types namely NPN and
PNP. It consists of two P-N junctions namely emitter junction and collector junction. Baseemitter junction is always forward biased while collector-base junction is always reverse
biased to operate in the active region irrespective of the configuration.
In Common Emitter configuration the input is applied between base and emitter and
the output is taken from collector and emitter. Here emitter is common to both input and
output and hence the name Common Emitter configuration. Input characteristics is obtained
between the input current(IB) and input voltage (VBE) at constant collector-emitter
voltage(VCE) in CE configuration.As the input is between base-emitter in CE configuration ,
the input characteristics resembles a family of forward-biased diode curves.Output
characteristics are obtained between the output voltage(VCE) and output current(IC) at
constant base current IB in CE configuration. It is also called as collector characteristics.

THEORY:
Bipolar junction transistor (BJT) is a 3 terminal (emitter, base, collector)
semiconductor device and can be operated in three configurations: Common Base(CB),
Common Emitter(CE), Common Collector(CC). BJTs are of two types namely NPN and
PNP. It consists of two P-N junctions namely emitter junction and collector junction. Baseemitter junction is always forward biased while collector-base junction is always reverse
biased to operate in the active region irrespective of the configuration.
In Common Base configuration the input is applied between base and emitter and the
output is taken from base and collector. Here base is common to both input and output and
hence the name common base configuration. Input characteristics is obtained between the
input current(IE) and input voltage (VBE) at constant collector-base voltage(VBE) in CB
configuration. Output characteristics are obtained between the output voltage (VCB) and
output current(IC) at constant base current IE in CB configuration. It is also called as collector
characteristics.

UJT
THEORY:
A Unijunction Transistor (UJT) is an electronic semiconductor device that has only
one junction. The UJT Unijunction Transistor (UJT) has three terminals: an emitter (E) and
two bases (B1 and B2). The UJT is biased with a positive voltage(VBB) between the two
bases. This causes a potential drop along the length of the device. Voltage V1 between emitter
and B1 establishes a reverse bias on the pn junction and the emitter current is cut off. A small
leakage current flows from B2 to emitter due to minority carriers. If V1 is greater than VBB ,
pn junction is forward biased and the emitter current flows which shows that UJT is ON.
Because the base region is very lightly doped, the additional current (actually charges in the
base region) reduces the resistance of the portion of the base between the emitter junction
and the B2 terminal. This reduction in resistance means that the emitter junction is more
forward biased, and so even more current is injected. Overall, the effect is a negative
resistance at the emitter terminal. This is what makes the UJT useful, especially in simple
oscillator circuits. When the emitter voltage reaches Vp, the current starts to increase and the
emitter voltage starts to decrease. This is represented by negative slope of the characteristics
which is referred to as the negative resistance region, beyond the valley point ,RB1 reaches
minimum value and this region,VEB proportional to IE.

SCR
THEORY:
It is a four layer semiconductor device, alternately P-type and N-Type silicon. It
consists of 3 junctions J1, J2, J3 and has three terminals called anode A, cathode K , and a
gate G. J1 and J3 operate in forward direction and J2 operates in reverse direction. When gate
is open, no voltage is applied at the gate due to reverse bias of the junction J2 no current
flows through R2 and hence SCR is at cut off. When anode voltage is increased J2 tends to
breakdown. When the gate is made positive with respect to cathode J3 junction is forward
biased and J2 is reverse biased. Electrons from N-type material move across junction J3
towards gate while holes from P-type material moves across junction J3 towards cathode. So
gate current starts flowing which increases anode current. Increase in anode current results in
J2 break down and SCR conducts heavily.

PROCEDURE:
1. Connections are made as per the circuit diagram, with correct polarity provision given
to the circuit from the regulated power supply.
2. By keeping the gate current zero, the anode voltage is varied and corresponding anode
current is noted.
3. By varying the gate current at different level the above step is repeated.
4. When the SCR is fired, then the gate current is made zero and the anode current is
reduced and at which the SCR is turned off is noted (called holding current).
5. A Graph is plotted using a linear graph sheet with VAK on X-axis and IA in Y-axis.

DIAC
THEORY:
The DIAC is basically a two terminal device. It is a parallel inverse combination of
semiconductor layers that permits triggering in either direction. The DIAC is extensively
used as a triggering device for the TRIAC circuits. When MT1 is positive with respect to
MT2 and the applied voltage is less than the break down voltage, the device will not conduct.
A small amount of the leakage current will flow through the device due to the drift of
electron and holes in the depletion layer. This current is not sufficient to turnon the device.
The DIAC will exhibit the negative resistance characteristics. When the DIAC is turned on,
the resistance decreases and the current increases to a larger value, which is limited by the
load impedance. The voltage drop across the device during the conduction is above 3V.
PROCEDURE:
1. Connections are given as per the circuit diagram.
2. For Mode1 operation MT1 terminal is made positive with respect to MT2.
3. Now vary the regulated power supply voltage in regular steps and note down the
corresponding values of current and voltage.
4. For Mode 2 operation MT2 terminal is made positive with respect to MT1.
5. Repeat the step 3.
6. Plot the graph for voltage Vs current.

TRIAC
The TRIAC is basically a three terminal device. It behaves as two inverse-parallel
connected SCRs with a single gate terminal. TRIAC can be made to conduct in either
direction. The characteristics of TRIAC is such that when MT2is positive with respect to
MT1, the TRIAC can be triggered on by application of a positive gate voltage. Similarly,
when MT2is negative with respect to MT1, the TRIAC can be triggered on by application of
a negative gate voltage. However, a negative gate voltage can also trigger the TRIAC when
MT2 is positive, and a positive gate voltage can trigger the device when MT2 is negative.
The TRIAC is defined as operating in one of the four quadrants. Normally, it is operated in
either quadrant I or quadrant III.

Photodiode:
The diodes which are designed to be sensitive to illumination are known as
photodiode. When a pn junction is reverse biased, small reverse saturation current flows due
to thermally generated holes and electrons being swept across the junction as minority
carriers. Increasing the junction temperature generates more holes-electron pairs, and so the
minority carrier current is increased. The same effect occurs if the junction is illuminated.
Hole-electron pairs are generated by the incident light energy, and minority charge carriers
are swept across the junction to produce a reverse current flow. Increasing the junction
illumination increases the number of charge carriers generated, and thus increases the level of
reverse current.
Phototransistor:
A phototransistor is similar to an ordinary BJT, except that its collector-base
junction is constructed like a photodiode. Instead of a base current, the input to the transistor
is in the form of illumination at the junction. In the phototransistor the collector-base leakage
current is proportional to the collector-base illumination. This results in Ic also being
proportional to the illumination level. For a given mount of illumination on a very small area,
the phototransistor provides a much larger output current than that available from
photodiode.
