The latching current of GTO should be of order
Correct answer: B. 500 mA
- A. 100 mA
- B. 500 mA
- C. 1 A
- D. 2 A
Explanation
The latching current of a GTO is generally in the hundreds-of-milliamperes range, and 500 mA is the suitable order among the choices. Latching current is the minimum anode current needed to keep the device on after the gate pulse is removed.
