This document contains 30 multiple choice questions about SCR (Silicon Controlled Rectifier). SCR is a solid state switch that can control AC power to a load by allowing current to pass in only one direction when it is triggered by a small current signal to its gate terminal. Some key facts covered are that SCR has 3 layers of semiconductor, 3 terminals (anode, cathode, gate), combines features of a rectifier and transistor, and turns on via gate current and off when anode current reduces to zero.
