DIAC and TRIAC both are semiconductors devices and conduct in____________________?
Correct answer: D. Both conducts in either direction
- A. DIAC conducts in forward direction and TRIAC conducts in reverse direction
- B. Both conducts in forward direction
- C. Both conducts in reverse direction
- D. Both conducts in either direction
Explanation
A DIAC is a bidirectional trigger device, and a TRIAC conducts current in either direction after triggering. This distinguishes both from ordinary one-directional diodes and thyristors.
