    The unijunction transistor (UJT) is a three terminal, single-junction device which exhibits negative resistance and switching characteristics totally unlike those of conventional bipolar transistors. The UJT consists of a bar of n-type having ohmic contacts designated Base 1 (B1) and Base 2 (B2) on either side of a single PN junction designated the emitter. An…
