-Construct the circuit of figure 1 using two 1N914 diodes. Connect scope input 1+ to the positive terminal of V<sub>Temp</sub> and connect scope input 1- to the negative terminal of V<sub>Temp</sub>. Use the Scopy Voltmeter or Oscilloscope instruments to monitor the value of V<sub>Temp</sub> using the True RMS measurement display. Use auto-range for the Voltmeter or set the "Volts/Div" scale for the Oscilloscope to its most sensitive value (10 mV) and ensure that Channel 1 is enabled.+Construct the circuit of figure 1 using two 1N914 diodes.

 1. Allow both diodes to reach the same temperature, i.e., T<sub>sense</sub> = T<sub>ref</sub> . Measure and record the voltage offset as V<sub>Temp</sub> set; subtract this offset voltage from your later measurements. 1.

 2. Heat the sensor diode by squeezing it between your fingers. Wait for the voltage to stabilize, subtract V<sub>Temp</sub> set, and then record this value as the "body temperature" voltage. You might also try blowing through a straw to direct your warm breath at the sensor diode. 2. Heat the sensor diode by squeezing it between your fingers.

 3. If available, wrap the sense diode in a thin plastic bag and submerge it in ice water to chill the sensor diode. Again, wait for the voltage to stabilize, subtract V<sub>Temp</sub> set, and then record its value as the "freezing point of water" voltage. 3.

 This circuit only measures the difference in temperature not the absolute temperature of either diode. How could you use the temperature dependence of a simple diode circuit like this to determine the actual temperature of the sense diode ( i.e. relative to absolute zero )?\\ This circuit only measures the difference in temperature not the absolute temperature of either diode.
