A $$1:1$$ pulse transformer $$(PT)$$ is used to trigger the $$SCR$$ in the adjacent figure. The $$SCR$$ is rated at $$1.5$$ $$kV$$, $$250$$ $$A$$ with $${{\rm I}_L} = 250\,mA,\,\,{{\rm I}_H} = 150\,mA,$$ and $${{\rm I}_{G\max }} = 150mA$$ with $${{\rm I}_L} = 250\,mA,$$ $${{\rm I}_{G\min }} = 100mA.$$ The $$SCR$$ is connected to an inductive load, where $$L$$ $$=150$$ $$mH$$ in series with a small resistance and the supply voltage is $$200$$ $$V$$ $$dc.$$ The forward drops of all transistors/diodes and gate $$-$$ cathode junction during $$ON$$ state are $$1.0V$$

The resistance $$R$$ should be

An $$SCR$$ having a turn ON time of $$5\,\,\mu \,\,\sec $$, latching current of $$50$$ $$mA$$ and holding current of $$40$$ $$mA$$ is triggered by a short duration pulse and is used in the circuit shown in figure The minimum pulse width required To turn the $$SCR$$ ON will be

The figure shows the voltage across a power semiconductor device and the current through the device during a switching transition. Is the transition a turn ON transition or a turn OFF transition? What is the energy lost during the transition?

An electronic switch $$S$$ is required to block voltages of either polarity during its OFF state as shown in figure (a). This switch is required to conduct in only one direction during its ON state as shown in the figure (b).

Which of the following are valid realizations of the switch $$s$$?
