The curve between V and I of SCR when anode is positive w.r.t cathode and when anode is negative w.r.t cathode are known as_____________________?
Correct answer: C. former as forward characteristics and later as reverse characteristics
- A. both as forward characteristics
- B. both as reverse characteristics
- C. former as forward characteristics and later as reverse characteristics
- D. former as reverse characteristics and later as forward characteristics
Explanation
With the anode positive relative to the cathode, the SCR operates in its forward characteristic region; with the anode negative, it operates in its reverse characteristic region.
