ON state voltage drop across SCR lie between the range_____________?

Correct answer: C. 1 - 1.5 V.

  • A. 0 - 0.5 V.
  • B. 0.5 - 1 V.
  • C. 1 - 1.5 V.
  • D. 1.5 - 2 V.

Explanation

A conducting SCR typically has an on-state voltage drop of about 1 to 1.5 V, caused by the forward-biased junctions and semiconductor conduction losses. The lower ranges are more typical of ordinary diode drops.
