Q1:

Assertion (A): The gate current of an SCR is always in the form of pulses. Reason (R): The gate losses, in pulse triggering, are low.

A Both A and R are correct and R is correct explanation of A

B Both A and R correct but R is not correct explanation of A

C A is correct but R is wrong

D A is wrong but R is correct

ANS:A - Both A and R are correct and R is correct explanation of A

Gate current in the form of pulses is commonly used because gate losses are low.
