Because to remain in conduction it requires a supply of emitter current. Without a minimum value of emitter current it can't stay in the on position. Most thyristors do not require gate current after they are turned on to remain in conduction

Why ujt used as an oscillator?
why ujt used as amplifier
Is a UJT a voltage controlled or current controlled device?
voltageCurrent between the two bases of the UJT sets up a voltage gradient in the semiconductor. When the voltage on the emitter of the UJT rises high enough to forward bias the emitter-base junction at the voltage of the interbase gradient where the emitter is located, the UJT "turns on".
How does a thyristor function?
A thyristor is a semiconductor device which acts as a switch.
What is inter base resistance in UJT?
The bulk resistance between the two bases, which will be different for different types of UJT. Consult the datasheet for the value.
Can we replace a thyristor by a mosfet?
No because a mosfet does not work the same as a thyristor. In a thyristor the current flows even when the gate pulse is removed, until the current stops. That is not the case for a FET.

Operation of UJT and block diagram?
Explaine operation of UJT .
Is ujt is a uni polar transistor?
UJT is known as Uni Junction Transistor
How to genrate sawtooth wave by using ujt?
by connecting the ujt with proper biasing resistors
What are types of thyristor?
Types of thyristor firing art
In ujt what does the j stand for?
For many people the letters UJT stand for Unitary Junction Transistor.
What is conduction angle in thyristor?
not a clue a A: It all depends on the thyristor. There are no calculation involved not until you look up the thyristor specifications and decide on the load of the thyristor then you may calculate or more likely choose.
Turn off and turn off mechanism of thyristor?
The turn off and turn off mechanism of a thyristor can be best explained by the gate turn-off thyristor. The thyristor uses the reverse bias mechanism.
Why ujt called current controlled negative resistance device?
The On/OFF action in UJT is controlled by emitter current
