Technical Specifications
| Specification | Value |
|---|---|
| Device | Unijunction transistor (UJT) |
| Inter-base supply (VBB) | 0–15 V DC |
| Emitter supply (VEE) | 0–10 V DC |
| Meters | 3 (emitter V, emitter I, base-to-base V) |
| Ammeter range | 0–50 mA (emitter current) |
| Voltmeter ranges | 0–10 V (emitter), 0–15 V (inter-base) |
| Controls | Variable potentiometers for emitter bias and inter-base voltage |
How It Is Used
The inter-base voltage is set and held while the emitter voltage is raised slowly and emitter current recorded. The emitter voltage climbs to a peak and then falls as the current increases, marking the negative-resistance region, and the readings are used to determine the intrinsic standoff ratio (η).
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the negative-resistance region seen with the UJT Characteristics Apparatus?
It is the part of the emitter characteristic where emitter voltage falls while emitter current rises, the property that makes the UJT useful in relaxation oscillators and timing circuits.
