Question

Thyristor T in the figure below is initially off and is triggered with a single pulse of width 10 $\mu$s. It is given that
$L=\left(\frac{100}{\pi }\right)\mu HandC=\left(\frac{100}{\pi }\right)\mu F.$
Assuming latching and holding currents of the thyristor are both zero and the initial charge on C is zero, T conducts for

Answer 1

Conduction time = $\pi \sqrt{LC}$

$=\pi \sqrt{(\frac{100}{\pi }\times {10}^{-6})(\frac{100}{\pi }\times {10}^{-6})}$

$=100\mu s$
