3.
The silicon-controlled rectifier can be turned off
by a negative gate pulse
by forced commutation
with the off switch
when the breakover voltage is exceeded
Answer: Option

4.
The output voltage of a typical thermocouple is
less than 100 mV
greater than 1 V
Thermocouples vary resistance, not voltage.
None of the above

No answer description is available. Let's discuss.

5.
The connections to a thermocouple
can produce an unwanted thermocouple effect, which must be compensated for
produce an extra desirable thermocouple effect
must be protected, since high voltages are present
produce an extra desirable thermocouple effect and must be protected, since high voltages are present
