In a UJT relaxation oscillator, the value of R_BB is 5 kΩ and stand off ratio n = 0.6 at I_E = 0. The value of R_B2 is: 

Concept:

Intrinsic stand-off ratio (η): It is the ratio of RB1 to the sum of RB1 and RB2. It can be expressed as 

The typical range of the intrinsic standoff ratio is from 0.4 to 0.8.

RBB: It is the resistance between terminals B1 and B2. In simple words, it is the resistance of the N-Type bar when measured lengthwise. If RB1 is the resistance of the bar from E to B1 and RB2 is the resistance of the bar from E to B2, then RBBO can be expressed as 

RBB= RB1 + RB2.

The typical range of RBB is from 3 kΩ to 10 kΩ.

Calculation:

Given that, RBB = 5 kΩ and  =0.6

∴ intrinsic stand-off ratio (η) can be calculated as

     ..................(1)

RB_{1 =} 3 kΩ

Putting in equation 1, we get

RB2  = 2 kΩ
