Q:

For a SCR, conduction angle is 120° when average on-state current is 20 A. When the conduction angle is halved the earlier value, the on-state average current will be?

A) 5 A B) 40 A
C) 10 A D) 20 A
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 40 A

Explanation: When the conduction angle is halved, the device will conduct twice then it was conducting earlier. Hence, I = 2x 20 = 40 A.
