Current derating may be necessary when thyristors are operating in
series
parallel
series or parallel
none of the above
Answer: Option
Explanation:

Since current does not divide equally, current derating is necessary.


27.

For a BJT a = 0.98, then β =
0.02
0.5
4.9
49
Answer: Option
Explanation:


29.

Assertion (A): Power transistor has lower switching time than SCR

Reason (R): Power transistor has greater switching time than SCR

Both A and R are correct and R is correct explanation of A
Both A and R correct but R is not correct explanation of A
A is correct but R is wrong
A is wrong but R is correct
Answer: Option
Explanation:

Power transistor does not have high rating.
