Determine the cold static & dynamic resistance near V=0

cold static                  cold dynamic       

 

 

 

 

 

Determine the hot resistances near V = ± 5V

hot +5V                    hot -5V                         

 

 

 

 

Which of these does the Ohmmeter most nearly agree?   (circle answer)

(a) cold static,    (b) cold dynamic,    (c) hot at +5V,    (d) hot at -5V

 

Explain why this is true.

Collect as much data near 0 Volts as allowed by your multimeter

NOTE:  To calculate slopes one must draw in tangent lines to the smooth curve at point of interest (i.e. hot resistance near ± 5V).  Obtain slope points for these tangent lines then calculate slope.           on analysis.  All graphs MUST be full page.
