1. Using Multisim environment, construct a resistor (1KΩ) – diode (1N3064) series network with a DC
power source.
1. Set the internal voltmeter resistance to 1000MΩ and the internal resistance of the ammeter to 1nΩ, so
that the meters are very nearly ideal.
2. Vary the supply voltage from 0.0V to 2.0V and record the observed voltage across the diode and the
current through the diode in Table 1below.
