VI Characteristics of PN Junction Diode – Explanation & Diagram

Diode is the most fundamental two terminal non-linear circuit element. The relationship between the current flowing through the diode and the voltage appearing across it is nonlinear. In other words, the diode has non-linear V-I characteristics.

What is Unijunction Transistor (UJT)? Working, Circuit Diagram, Symbol & Characteristics

A unijunction transistor is a three-terminal device similar to a bipolar transistor but it has some unique characteristics that are quite different than ordinary PNP, NPN or field effect transistors. These characteristics make the UJT suitable in switching applications.
