A voltage source Vs = Vm sinωt is connected in series with a resistance R and an SCR. At some firing angle delay of α a positive gate pulse is applied to the SCR which turns on the SCR. Considering ideal conditions, at the instant α the voltage at the resistor terminals Vo
(a) falls to zero
(b) falls to –Vm sin α
(c) rises to Vm sin α
(d) rises to Vm sin ωt
I got this question in an internship interview.
My question is from Single-Phase HW AC-DC-1 topic in chapter Converters of Power Electronics
