Both A and R are correct and R is correct explanation of A
B:
Both A and R correct but R is not correct explanation of A
C:
A is correct but R is wrong
D:
A is wrong but R is correct
Answer:C
Transistors are used but not very widely.

A single phase half wave controlled rectifier circuit has a free wheeling diode. The load is a combination of R and L. The firing angle is a. The period of conduction of SCR and free wheeling diode respectively are
A:
a < ωt < p and p < ωt < (2p + a)
B:
a < ωt < p and p < ωt < 2p
C:
a < ωt < (p + a) and (p + a) < ωt < 2p
D:
a < ωt < p and p < ωt < (2p - a)
Answer:A
SCR conducts from a to p and free wheeling diode from p to (2p + a).

Assertion (A): The surge current which an SCR can withstand is much higher than rms on state current.
Reason (R): The duration of surge current is very small.
A:
Both A and R are correct and R is correct explanation of A
B:
Both A and R correct but R is not correct explanation of A
C:
A is correct but R is wrong
D:
A is wrong but R is correct
Answer:A
Since duration of surge current is small, the associated energy is small.
