In this lab we attempted to bias circuit components so that they operate at their correct voltages and currents. Our experiment involved biasing two different diodes which we ran parallel to each other and powered with a 9V power supply. Since the diodes operated at different specs, an appropriately calculated resistor was found and added in series with each diode to ensure that it received the necessary voltage and current. For the yellow and red diodes, we found that ~150 and ~360 ohm resistors were required respectively. In the real world, since various components operate at different specs, care needs to be taken in the design of the circuit so that they operate properly.
