I tried finding values for the VI curve of a diode, but my mulitmeters resistance influences the current too much, and I can't get a curve to fit it, it's not a sharp enough curve. I guess I could try measuring the resistance of my meter, and try and figure out the real VI curve given that, but I dunno...
Also, bipolar junction transistors are supposed to "multiply current". Would this model be a better way to determine current through the Base/Emitter? Also, does the transistor still multiply current if I have a resistor between the collector restricting the multiplied current?
