A TRIAC can be turned on with______________?
Correct answer: C. Either (a) or (b)
- A. Positive voltage at the gate terminal
- B. Negative voltage at the gate terminal
- C. Either (a) or (b)
- D. None of these
Explanation
A TRIAC is bidirectional and can be triggered by either a positive or negative gate current relative to its reference terminal, although the triggering sensitivity depends on the operating quadrant.
