Firing angle
Comments:
As we increase the resistance, voltage apply at gate reduced. When gate voltage decreased, SCR triggered
late, and firing angle increased and output voltage across the resistor(load) decreased. For resistive circuit,
delay angle varied between 0 to 90. As voltages across the load decreased the voltage drop increased across
the SCR.

Rmin = 50 ohms
RG = 850k ohms
Capacitor = 1 uF
Output/ simulation diagram:

Comments:
When we increased the resistance, so the firing angle increased, but when firing angle increased to 90 degrees excessive
voltage applied on gate due to capacitor and output voltage across load also shoot out due to which simulation gives error.
Firing angle does not increase, when we decrease the value of capacitor. In order to increase the firing angel greater than
90, capacitor voltage should be greater. But when we increase the voltage shoot out problem occur.
