A TRIAC (triode for alternating current; also bidirectional triode thyristor or bilateral triode thyristor)
is a three terminal electronic component that conducts current in either direction when triggered.
A DIAC is also a bi-directional semiconductor switch that can be turned on in both forward and reverse
polarities above a certain voltage.

The source voltage was applied across the capacitor through resistor, and it became charge and

Its voltage applied on the gate of the TRAIC through DIAC and TRIAC starts to conduct and voltage

across the load appeared. When we increase the value of resistor, showed in the circuit, the firing angle

became increase and the Voltage across the load decreased. So, we controlled the ac voltage across the load.
