Q1:

A static induction thyristor

A is a majority carrier device

B is a minority carrier device

C either a majority carrier or minority carrier device

D has a total number of 2 leads

ANS:B - is a minority carrier device

It can be turned on by positive gate pulse and turned off by negative gate pulse. It is minority carrier device. It can be manufactured in high current and high voltage ratings and its on state voltage drops is low.
