What happens to an SCR’s anode current if its gate voltage is removed after it has turned on?

Correct answer A. Anode current does not decrease at all

Explanation

Once latched, the SCR's internal regenerative feedback keeps it conducting without gate drive, so removing the gate voltage does not reduce the anode current.
