Q1:

Assertion (A): The surge current which an SCR can withstand is much higher than rms on state current. Reason (R): The duration of surge current is very small.

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

Since duration of surge current is small, the associated energy is small.
