A single phase half wave converter is feeding a resistive load. Just before triggering, the voltage across thyristor is

zero
about 1 V
same as input voltage
twice the input voltage

Correct Answer: same as input voltage

Explanation:

Before triggering the whole of applied voltage is across SCR and load current is zero.
