No, an SCR conducts when the anode and gate are both positive.
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.
Anode is positive electrode which attracts the negative anions while cathode is the negative electrode which attracts the positive cations during electrolysis.
It can be complicated depending on the type of cell one is looking at. However, here is my simple explanation.The anode is the electrode where the oxidation reaction takes place, and oxidation is the loss of electrons, so in a galvanic cell the anode is a source of free electrons and so it is negatively charged.The cathode is the electrode where reduction takes place, and reduction is the gain of electrons, so in a galvanic cell the cathode is positively charge and ready to accept negatively charged electrons.Now, the anode isn't always negative and the cathode isn't always positive. It has to do with the direction of current flow (anode = current in, cathode = current out). In an electrolytic cell, the charges on the anode and the cathode are reversed from that seen in a galvanic cell.
In the conduction period of a thyristor, the gate current is used to trigger the device into conduction, but once the thyristor is latched on, it remains conducting primarily due to the anode current. The gate current effectively initiates the conduction process by allowing a small amount of charge to flow, but the anode current, which is typically much larger, sustains the conduction. After the thyristor is turned on, the gate current can be removed, and the anode current continues to flow until the device is turned off by reducing the current below a certain holding value.
A diode is a semiconductor meaning it will conduct from anode to cathode if the anode is held positive. Reversing the polarity Will in effect block current flow.

In an electrical circuit, the anode is the positive terminal and the cathode is the negative terminal. The flow of electric current goes from the anode to the cathode.
The anode is the negative electrode. It produces hydrogen gas.
The Anode in electrochemical cell has negative charge (-ve).
Anode is positive electrode which attracts the negative anions while cathode is the negative electrode which attracts the positive cations during electrolysis.
The negative anode in an electrical circuit serves as the point where electrons flow out of the circuit, completing the electrical circuit and allowing for the flow of electric current.
Current flows from the anode (positive terminal) to the cathode (negative terminal) in a LED. The longer leg of the LED indicates the positive anode side, while the shorter leg represents the negative cathode side.
The anode in a battery is typically the negative terminal.
Yes, the anode is negative in a galvanic cell.
Yes, the anode is negative in an electrochemical cell.
When an electric current passes through water, hydrogen gas is obtained at the cathode (negative electrode) and oxygen gas is obtained at the anode (positive electrode) through the process of electrolysis.
In a galvanic cell, the anode is the negative electrode.
