    At t = 0, iL (0) = 0, VC(0) = 0
    ∴ VD = 100 V
    But at steady-state inductor is short circuited, therefore
    VC = 100 – (+100) = 0 V

    Correct Option: A

    At t = 0, iL (0) = 0, VC(0) = 0
    ∴ VD = 100 V
    But at steady-state inductor is short circuited, therefore
    VC = 100 – (+100) = 0 V


  1. An SCR can withstand a maximum junction temperature of 120°C with an ambient temperature of 75°C. If the SCR has thermal resistance from junction to ambient as 1.5°C / W, the maximum internal power dissipation allowed is ______W .

    Pmax =
    TJ - TA
    =
    120 - 75
    = 30 W
    θjA1.5

    Correct Option: D

    Pmax =
    TJ - TA
    =
    120 - 75
    = 30 W

    EBB = VT + hVBB = 0.3 + 0.64 × 20 = 13.1 V

    Correct Option: B

    EBB = VT + hVBB = 0.3 + 0.64 × 20 = 13.1 V
