An SCR is made of ___________
A. Germanium
B. Silicon
C. Carbon
D. None of the above
Answer: Option B
Solution(By Examveda Team)
An SCR (Silicon Controlled Rectifier) is made of silicon.Silicon is the primary semiconductor material used in the fabrication of SCRs due to its favorable electrical properties, including high temperature tolerance, stability, and reliability. SCRs are widely utilized in electronic devices and power control applications for their ability to handle high voltages and currents effectively.
Therefore, the correct answer is Option B: Silicon.
