3. Apply 5 volts at V1.

4. Set V2=0

5. Increase V1 to 8V.

6. And note the readings of V1. And A1

7. What does the reading of voltmeter shows; include this in your report.

8. Now increase V2 until gate is triggered and notes the latching current from A2.

9. Include this in your report.

10. Now once the gate is triggered then increase V1 in steps and note A1 and V1

readings and tabulate and draw a graph of VI.

11. Include this in your report.
