Characteristic curves of semiconductors with Cobra4

The current-voltage characteristic of a semiconducting diode is measured.
The collector current in dependency on the emitter-collector voltage is measured for different values of base current strength through a NPN transistor.

  • Fast and easy experimenting
  • Get to know the behaviour of several types of semiconductors
  • Simplified implementation: all pre-settings already prepared
  • Data logging reveals instantaneous results during measuremen
