An SCR has three legs. The anode, cathode, and gate. The control voltage sent to the gate will allow the SCR to conduct.
A SCR is a Silcon Controlled Recifier. It is a four layer device that can be conceptually considered to be two transistors in latch up configuration. (Though not exactly) For an SCR, there will be no conduction between anode and cathode until the gate / cathode junction is biased on. At that point, the SCR will latch up and conduct from anode to cathode, regardless of further changes on the gate. This condition will persist until the anode / cathode voltage drops to zero. The SCR can be used as a half wave dimmer in an AC circuit. If you want full wave operation, you need to use a bridge rectifier around the SCR, or use a TRIAC/DIAC circuit.
Whenever you measure resistance, the resistance itself cannot be negative!When an SCR (Semiconductor Controlled Rectifier) is not conducting, it has a high resistance between its anode and its cathode. When its gate is triggered and the SCR is conducting, it has a low resistance between its anode and its cathode.For more information about SCRs, see the answer to the Related Question (for which a link is shown below) and also the Related Link.
The effect of holding current (anode to cathode) in an SCR is to retain the turned on state, even in the absence of any gate voltage. When used as an AC voltage controller, the SCR conducts from the moment the gate and anode goes positive until the anode goes negative on the next zero line crossing, irrespective of any further transistions on the gate.
A diode mainly consists of only 2 terminals(anode,cathode).A SCR mainly contains one more terminal called GATE.The main purpose of the gate in an SCR is just to provide pulses.The main draw back of SCR is it is not fully controllable device.

The SCR switches on when the gate is more positive than the cathode at the same time the anode is more positive than the cathode.
Anode, Cathode and Gate. Like in a SCR

to make the revers biased p-n junction in SCR to be conducting.when we apply gate signal across gate and cathode it establish conducting part,thus the current from anode to cathode flow i.e main current.even after we remove the gate signal SCR in conducting mode because now this conducting path is maintain by main current i.e current from anode to cathode
A SCR or THYRISTOR has three leads, an anode and a cathode and the gate. It is a gate controlled diode which turns on once the gate voltage is reached and remains on until the current flowing through it is shut off. (either by another device or by an ac voltage across it passing though zero.) Large SCR's sometime have an extra lead but this is connected to the anode or cathode.
The conduction angle in an SCR is the phase angle relative to the power line at which point the gate is fired to commit the anode to conduct to the cathode. By varying the conduction angle, you can change the average power transferred by the SCR.

cathode is electron negative but anode is positiveAnswerFor electrochemical cells, electrons travel through the external circuit from the anode to the cathode.
it is an anode
