A) Procedure
1. Connect the DC variable power supply and fixed power supply to
their respective terminal with proper polarity.
2. Connect the meters for measuring current and voltage.

3. Increase the supply voltage until the UJT fires; record the maximum
value of IE prior to firing of UJT as IP.
4. Tabulate the reading in the observation table.
5. Plot the graph of characteristics of UJT.
6. Make the conclusion.

A) Procedure
1. Connect the circuit as shown in fig. 2.
2. Apply the minimum Gate current requires to turn on the TRIAC.
3. Slowly increase the supply voltage until the TRIAC comes in ON state.
4. Measure the reading of voltage and current for different value.
5 Reverse the polarity of supply and repeat the step 2 to 5.
6. Plot the V-I characteristic of TRIAC from the reading.
