What are the V–I curves of an SCR called when the anode is positive relative to the cathode and when it is negative?
Correct answer D. The former is the forward characteristic and the latter the reverse characteristic
Explanation
With the anode positive the SCR is forward biased, giving its forward characteristic of blocking and conduction; with the anode negative it is reverse biased, giving the reverse characteristic.
