Assignment -Analogue electronic devices and circuits

Task 1 Carry out theoretical and practical investigations into analogue devices and circuits.

You need to investigate:

(a) Diodes and how they are used in a full-wave rectified power supply with voltage regulation.

(b) Transistors and how they are used in a stabilised common emitter amplifier.

(c) Operational amplifiers and how they are used in an amplifier circuit

You need to provide evidence that you have consistently worked safely in accordance with relevant risk assessments.

To do this you will need to work systematically following the guide below:

(a) Diode circuits.

(i) Identify different types of diode and their uses.

(ii) Construct a schematic diagram and simulate the operation of a diode as a half-wave.
