The L-C circuit shown in the figure has an inductance $$L=1mH$$ and a capacitance $$C = 10\mu F.$$
The $$L$$-$$C$$ circuit $$Q.13$$ is used to commutate a thyristor, which is initially carrying a current of $$5A$$ as shown in the figure below. The values and initial conditions of $$L$$ and $$C$$ are the same as in $$Q.13.$$ The switch is closed at $$t = 0.$$ If the forward drop is negligible, the time taken for the device to turn off is

In the chopper circuit shown, the main thyristor $$\left( {{T_M}} \right)$$ is operated at a duty ratio of $$0.8$$ which is much larger than the commutation interval. If the maximum allowable reapplied $${{dV} \over {dt}}$$ on $${T_M}$$ is $$50$$ $$V/\mu s,$$
what should be the theoretical minimum value of $${C_1}?$$. Assume current ripple through $${L_0}$$ to be negligible.
