If the gate voltage of an SCR is removed, then the_______________?
Correct answer: B. anode current does not decrease at all
- A. anode current decreases
- B. anode current does not decrease at all
- C. anode current increases
- D. cathode current increases
Explanation
Once an SCR has been triggered and latched, removing the gate signal does not turn it off. Its anode current continues until it falls below the holding current or the device is reverse biased.
