  1. Connect the circuit diagram as shown in Figure 2.
  2. Ask the supervisor to check the circuit connection.
  3. You are provided with Table 2.

     

     

    1. Set the power supply unit to 12 V.
    2. Close switch (S).
    3. Read and record in Table 2 the values of IE, IC and IB.
    4. Open switch (S).
    5.  Repeat steps (e) to (g) for the other values of supply voltages (VCC) in Table 2.
    6. Complete Table 2.
    7. Comment on your results.
