Q1) What is the difference between linear electronics and power

electronics

Q2) A Silicon Control Rectifier can be triggered by several ways. State five
of them.

Q3) When a diode is conducting in the forward direction, explain, with the
aid of the reverse recovery characteristic diagram, why a sudden reversal
of the polarity of the applied voltage would not stop the diode current at
once.

Q4) A Triac can be equivalent to two inverse-parallel connected SCR’s.

Draw the equivalent circuit of a Triac and comment on the advantages of
using a Triac instead of two inverse-parallel connected SCR’s.

Q5) With the aid of a 2-transistors circuit model of a thyristor, describe the
turn-on action of a thyristor using gate triggering.

Q6) (a) Draw the 4-layer structure of a SCR, its 2-transistors equivalent
circuit and the SCR symbol. (b) Write any 3 techniques by which a SCR
may be triggered.

Q7) Sketch the typical v-i characteristics of a SCR and clearly label the
following terms on the diagram: Latching current, Holding current,
Reverse leakage current, Forward on-state volt-drop.

Q8) The main objective of using the power semiconductor devices in power
electronic converters is:
