Question

A thyristor with $V_{B O}=5 \mathrm{~V}$ and $I_H=10 \mathrm{~mA}$ is placed in the circuit in Figure P11.61(a). The voltage source $v_1(t)$ ramps up to 10 volts over 10 seconds and back down again, as shown in Figure 11.61(b). Plot the current $i(t)$ over the same 20 seconds. Figure P11.61 can't copy

Instant Answer

Step 1

The thyristor will conduct when the voltage across it exceeds the breakover voltage \( V_{BO} = 5 \, \text{V} \) and the current through it exceeds the holding current \( I_H = 10 \, \text{mA} \). Show more…
