Is SCR an active device?
Answer : Yes, an SCR (Silicon Controlled Rectifier) is considered an active device. This is because it requires an external signal (typically a gate pulse) to control its operation. When the gate is ... resistors, capacitors, or inductors), SCRs can control power flow in a circuit, making them active....
