Question

When two SCRs are connected in anti-parallel combination, it is called:

• A. DIAC
• B. TRIAC
• C. UJT
• D. IGBT

Hint:

A TRIAC is often used in applications requiring bidirectional control of AC power.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

When two SCRs (Silicon Controlled Rectifiers) are connected in anti-parallel, the resulting device is called a TRIAC (Triode for Alternating Current). TRIACs can conduct in both directions and are commonly used for controlling AC power.
