INTRODUCTION: The experiment shows that sufficient gate current must flow in
order to turn on the SCR and that the minimum holding current can be found with the
addition of large-value potentiometer in anode circuit.

IV. RESULTS
Simulation using multisim
In the table above we can observe that as the potentiometer setting goes high, the
Voltage from anode to cathode decreases gradually because that is the function of a
potentiometer. As as that happens, the anode current increases slightly because the
resistance block some current that will be seen in the anode.
FILL-IN QUESTIONS
1. If the gate resistor is too large, not enough gate current will flow to turn on the SCR.
2. When the gate resistor is large enough, the proper value of gate current will flow to
trigger the SCR.
3. Sufficient gate current is required to keep the SCR conducting.
4. If the load resistance in series with the anode is too large, not enough current flows
from cathode to anode and the SCR will turn off.
