MCQ Thyristors (SCR) PDF

This document provides 12 multiple choice questions and answers about thyristors (SCRs). The questions cover topics such as what type of triggered device an SCR is, how the supply voltage relates to the breakover voltage, what the voltage across an SCR is when turned on, how an SCR is turned off, how the angle of conduction can be changed, how output is affected by firing angle, how anode-cathode voltage is affected by gate current, the number of PN junctions and semiconductor layers in an SCR, how an SCR can control the positive and negative half-cycles of an AC supply, and how AC power in a load can be controlled by connecting two SCRs. The document is
