What is thyristor?

Answer Posted / baswaraj

Thyristor is also called SCR, stands for Semi Conductor
Rectifier. It is basically a four layer semi conductor
device like a transistor that is a three layer
semiconductor device.

It is generally used as a switch in the power circuit as it
can only be turned on by providing a pulse at its one of
the sandwitched layer called Gate, and the pulse is also
called firing pulse or triggring pulse. The main advantage
of this over the transistor is the it can be used into the
power circuits.

1. for eg, capacitor is used for many purposes(it act as filter, oscillator, bypass capacitor, memory storage etc...) 2. Please tell me some example circuits for different uses of capacitor( whenever and whereever and however we used capacitor as a filter, oscillator tuning etc..) 3. similarly for inductor and resistors(it act as what?) and when and how we want to act as like that?, and how we can used these components depends upon our requirments with example circuits and explanation? design to act as these components depends
