AIM- To study the VI characteristics of SCR.
APPARATUS- NV6530 SCR Characteristics Trainer, Wires
THEORY- SCR is a four-layered semiconductor device that is alternative of P-type and N-type semiconductor silicon. Junction J1, J2 and J3 (J1, J2 and J3 operate in forward direction while middle operates in reverse direction) and three terminals known as anode A, cathode K and gate G. The function of the gate is to trigger the device into conduction by the application of a small voltage.
