This primer introduces the student to the key terms and concepts associated with the silicon diode.
In this animated activity, learners examine the operation of the SCR, including how it is biased and how it is turned off. A brief quiz completes the object.
Learners view waveforms at various locations of an SCR circuit controlling the intensity a light bulb. The waveforms are shown when the light is dim, at medium brightness, and at full brightness. A brief quiz completes the activity.
