FAQs of ENERGY BAND GAP APPARATUS WITH BAKELITE PANEL & ROUND METERS:
Q: How does the ENERGY BAND GAP APPARATUS determine the band gap of a semiconductor diode?
A: The apparatus measures voltage and current across a semiconductor diode as it is gradually heated in a controlled oven. By using the provided analog meters and temperature sensor, users collect data at different temperatures, then plot a graph to calculate the energy band gap based on changes in diode characteristics.
Q: What safety features ensure the devices safe operation in laboratory settings?
A: It includes a fused power input to prevent overload, an earth terminal for grounding, high insulation resistance above 20 M at 500V DC, and is constructed with heat-resistant bakelite, making it safe for indoor laboratory environments.
Q: When should the apparatus be calibrated, and is recalibration required?
A: The unit is factory-calibrated and traceable to national standards at shipment. For routine academic use, annual calibration is recommended. If the device is subjected to heavy usage or critical research, recalibration interval may be shortened to ensure ongoing measurement accuracy.
Q: Where can I connect external instruments or probes for additional measurements?
A: Test points are provided on the panel, allowing users to connect external voltmeters, ammeters, or data loggers for extended analysis or observation during experiments.
Q: What is the typical process for conducting an experiment with this apparatus?
A: The process involves biasing the in-built semiconductor diode using the variable power supply, gradually increasing the oven temperature, and recording voltage/current readings at specific intervals via analog meters and the platinum thermometer until the analysis range (up to 150C) is achieved.
Q: How is the temperature of the semiconductor diode controlled and measured?
A: Temperature is regulated through an in-built oven powered by an encapsulated nichrome heating element, with precise measurement provided by an inbuilt platinum resistance thermometer displayed on the panel.
Q: What are the main benefits of using this apparatus in engineering and electronics laboratories?
A: Benefits include reliable, direct analog measurement, durable and heat-resistant construction, highly accurate temperature control, quick response time under 2 seconds, straightforward operation, and comprehensive safety features, making it ideal for educational and research applications.
