Anode of an operational SCR is _______________?
Correct answer: A. Always positive w.r.t cathode
- A. Always positive w.r.t cathode
- B. Always negative w.r.t anode
- C. Always positive w.r.t anode
- D. Always negative w.r.t cathode
Explanation
For forward operation of an SCR, the anode must be at a higher potential than the cathode, while the gate pulse initiates conduction. The word “always” is understood here as referring to the SCR’s forward-operating condition.
