When SCR starts conducting, then _____________ loses all control?
Correct answer: A. Gate
- A. Gate
- B. Cathode
- C. Anode
- D. None of the above
Explanation
After an SCR is triggered and latches into conduction, removing the gate signal does not turn it off; the anode current must fall below the holding current. Thus the gate loses control after turn-on.
