When SCR is OFF, the current in the circuit is ________________?
Correct answer: B. Small leakage current
- A. Exactly zero
- B. Small leakage current
- C. Large leakage current
- D. None of the above
Explanation
An OFF SCR blocks the applied voltage but permits a small leakage current through its reverse- or forward-blocking junctions. It is therefore not an ideal open circuit with exactly zero current.
