An SCR is a ____________ triggered device?
Correct answer: B. Current
- A. Voltage
- B. Current
- C. Voltage as well as current
- D. None of the above
Explanation
An SCR is normally turned on by applying a gate current pulse while it is forward biased. The gate is therefore a current-triggering input, although the device also requires suitable anode-to-cathode voltage conditions.
