Assertion (A): A TRIAC is a bidirectional SCR. Reason (R): A TRIAC is a four layers 3 terminal device and can conduct in both directions.
Both A and R are correct and R is correct explanation of A
Both A and R correct but R is not correct explanation of A
A is correct but R is wrong
A is wrong but R is correct
Correct Answer:
Both A and R are correct and R is correct explanation of A
Explanation:
Since a TRIAC can conduct in both directions it is bi directional SCR.
