Typo in PUT article.

Below the second figure in the article, the sentence "A current spike flows through the cathode during capacitor discharge, developing a voltage spike across the cathode resistors. " refers to "resistors", though there is only one cathode resistor in the circuit.

Pogo.

I resurrect this thread, since I'm filling up the thread with the 2013 corrections and managed to find the article it refers to.

It's the paragraph right before this image:

I also believe the plural is wrong. Opinions?

The characteristic curve for the programmable unijunction transistor in Figure above is similar to that of the unijunction transistor. This is a plot of anode current IA versus anode voltage VA. The gate lead voltage sets, programs, the peak anode voltage VP. As anode current inceases, voltage increases up to the peak point. Thereafter, increasing current results in decreasing voltage, down to the valley point.






Figure below shows the PUT version of the unijunction relaxation oscillator Figure previous. Resistor R charges the capacitor until the peak point, Figure previous, then heavy conduction moves the operating point down the negative resistance slope to the valley point. A current spike flows through the cathode during capacitor discharge, developing a voltage spike across the cathode resistors. After capacitor discharge, the operating point resets back to the slope up to the peak point.
