UJT Characteristics Apparatus
Product Code : SCL-EE-12439
Quick Answer: The UJT Characteristics Apparatus is an electronics trainer for plotting the emitter characteristics of a unijunction transistor and identifying its peak point, valley point and negative resistance region.
Last updated: October 2026
Key Features
- Records emitter voltage against emitter current
- Identifies peak voltage, peak current, valley voltage and valley current
- Shows the negative resistance region, where emitter current rises as emitter voltage falls
- Supports teaching of intrinsic stand-off ratio, triggering and relaxation oscillators
About This Product
Students connect the circuit to the approved UJT diagram, set the emitter and base supply controls to their lowest safe values and raise the emitter voltage gradually, recording emitter voltage and current. Plotting the readings reveals the peak and valley points and leads into how the UJT operates as a triggering device. It suits electronics and power electronics modules in physics and engineering laboratories.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q1. What is the negative resistance region?
It is the part of the emitter characteristic, between the peak and valley points, where emitter current increases while emitter voltage falls.
