Which one of the following statements is correct about SCR?

Question

TuteeHUB · Accepted Answer

The higher the gate current in SCR, the higher the holding current to switch off.

TuteeHUB · Answer

SCR is constructed using an npn and pnp transistor by connecting base of one transistor to collector of the other transistor.

TuteeHUB · Answer

To switch off an SCR, gate current must be reduced below certain threshold value.

TuteeHUB · Answer

Higher levels of gate currents in SCR cause it to conduct at lower anode-to-cathode voltages.
