Question

Figure given below represents a

The correct answer is
unijunction transistor

The question is about identifying an electronic component based on the given diagram. Let's analyze the details:

The figure depicts a device with three terminals: E, B1, and B2. This structure is characteristic of a Unijunction Transistor (UJT).

Reasoning:

  • The unijunction transistor has three terminals: an emitter (E), and two bases (B1 and B2).
  • In the diagram, the emitter is depicted as a diode symbol pointing towards the body of the device, which is a common representation.

Explanation of Options:

  • Zener Diode: This has two terminals and a Zener breakdown characteristic, not matching this diagram.
  • Unijunction Transistor: Matches the depicted symbol and terminal configuration in the diagram.
  • Diac Trigger: Generally has a different structure with two terminals forming a diode but in bilateral form.
  • None of these: Is not applicable as the diagram matches a Unijunction Transistor.

Therefore, based on the diagram and the options provided, the correct answer is a unijunction transistor.
