,A conventional diode placed in a circuit allows the passage of current in one direction
only. A silicon controlled rectifier(SCR) operates slightly differently. How does it work?
A. an SCR conducts current in both directions until turned on and current flow is then
prevented
B. an SCR is non-conductive until turned onland then allows current to flow in both
directions
C. an SCR is non-conductive until turned on, allowing current to flow in one direction
only until the flow of current stops - Answers-C. an SCR is non-conductive until turned
on, allowing current to flow in one direction only until the flow of current stops
