1. For a thyristor, the forward breakover voltage is maximum when:
- A. Gate current = ∞
- B. Gate current = ∞
- C. Gate current = ∞
- D. Gate current = ∞
Answer: Option B
Explanation:
The forward breakover voltage of a thyristor is maximum when Gate current = 0. A higher gate current lowers the forward breakover voltage, while a zero gate current (gate circuit open) results in the highest possible forward breakover voltage for the device.
