Overlap angle of a rectifier (μ): The commutation process in a practical rectifier is not instantaneous. During the period of commutation, both the incoming and the outgoing devices conduct current simultaneously. This period, expressed in radians, is called the overlap angle "μ" of a rectifier. It is easily verified that α + μ + γ = π radian.

B False. You can overlap things on a slide show presentation
High end Rpm output tails sooner, engines idle is lumpy, emissions are higher, too much overlap can cause rough low rpm driving, more chance of detonation.
Extinction angle of a rectifier (γ): Also used in connection with a controlled rectifier. It refers to the time interval from the instant when the current through an outgoing thyristor becomes zero (and a negative voltage applied across it) to the instant when a positive voltage is reapplied. It is expressed in radians by multiplying the time interval with the input supply frequency (ω) in rad/sec. The extinction time (γ/ω) should be larger than the turn off time of the thyristor to avoid commutation failure.

not a clue a A: It all depends on the thyristor. There are no calculation involved not until you look up the thyristor specifications and decide on the load of the thyristor then you may calculate or more likely choose.
The turn off and turn off mechanism of a thyristor can be best explained by the gate turn-off thyristor. The thyristor uses the reverse bias mechanism.
A thyristor is a semiconductor device which acts as a switch.
Thyristor is a kind fast acting switch. These are fully controlled switches
The term "Forced commutation" is used when a thyristor is turned off using external components. If a thyristor is used in a DC circuit, when first turned on, it will stay on until the current goes to zero. To turn off the thyristor it is possible to use a Forced commutation circuit. The circuit creates a reverse voltage over the thyristor (and a small reverse current) for a short time, but long enough to turn off the thyristor. A simple circuit consist of a precharged capacitor and a switch (e.g. another thyristor) parallel to the thyristor. When the switch is closed, the current is supplied by the capacitor for a short while. This cause a reversed voltage over the thyristor, and the thyristor is turned off.
No because a mosfet does not work the same as a thyristor. In a thyristor the current flows even when the gate pulse is removed, until the current stops. That is not the case for a FET.
There are more than two conditions that can make a thyristor conduct, but the general (functional) ones are: 1) positive voltage form anode to cathode, and 2) a positive voltage on the trigger input (referenced to the cathode) for a standard polarity thyristor. Other conditions can be: A) Anode-Cathode Voltage exceeding thyristor witholding voltage. B) Overtemperature of the thyristor chip C) Faulty thyristor (can be caused by overloads)

A thyristor, also known as a silicon controlled rectifier, is a diode that can be turned on by application of a small gate voltage.
