Figure shows a composite switch consisting of a power transistor $$(BJT)$$ in series with a diode. Assuming that the transistor switch and the diode are ideal, the $$I$$-$$V$$ characteristic of the composite switch is

An $$SCR$$ is considered to be a semi - controlled device because

The conduction loss versus device current characteristic of a power $$MOSFET$$ is best approximated by

A bipolar junction transistor $$(BJT)$$ is used as a power control switch by biasing it in the cut-off region (OFF state) or in the saturation region (ON state). In the ON state, for the $$BJT.$$
