be turned OFF by it, requiring the circuit to force it off?
o A) Uncontrolled Switch
o B) Fully Controlled Switch
o C) Semi-Controlled Switch
o D) Ideal Switch

2. What is a key advantage of a Schottky diode compared to other power diode


types?

o B) Very low forward voltage drop
o C) Very high reverse recovery time (𝑡𝑟𝑟 )
o D) Capability to handle extremely high currents

3. What is the primary control mechanism for turning a MOSFET ON and OFF?
o A) A positive gate current

4. Q/ List the three conditions required to turn on a conventional Thyristor


(SCR).
