They can be used as a kind of safety switch to allow a circuit with a small current through to switch on a circuit that will hve a larger current flowing through it.
No a integrated circuit IC for short is solid state and can only be destroyed by reverse polarity or shortened output or to high input tension or current No a integrated circuit IC for short is solid state and can only be destroyed by reverse polarity or shortened output or to high input tension or current
A high impedance state is a state where the component hardly draws any current at all. In most cases it also mean that the component is more or less turned off. In memory chips, it will keep the memory but no longer accept commands for changing or reading memory content. In portable measuring devices, it is a state where electronics turn itself off to conserve battery power. I hope this was helpful. Regards.
Nothing. An led is a solid state device.
The term "thyristor" was coined from the terms "thyratron" and "transistor". A thyratron was a gas-filled vacuum tube switch - when triggered, it developed a low impedance path from cathode to anode, and that path stayed in place until the current through the tube ceased - you couldn't "turn it off". The thyristor was seen as a "solid-state thyratron".
The solid state component that can be used as a switch to turn current on or off is a thyristor.
Triac.
Examples of solid state materials include diamond, quartz, silicon, and ice. These materials have tightly packed atoms or molecules with little to no mobility, leading to characteristic properties such as rigidity and defined shape.
Solid state refers to electrical / electronic devices without moving parts.

A resistor or an inductor. The inductor limits transient current, not steady state current.
The process in which a gas changes directly into a solid is called deposition.
Essentially an Scr is a solid state switch that will only allow current to flow in one direction. A triac is essentially two scr's in Anti- parallel that allows current to pass in both directions.
An SCR, a silicon-controlled rectifier, is a four-layer solid state current controlling device. When it turns on it acts like an electronic switch and rectifier.
A triac is a high voltage AC solid state relay it is switched on by applying a dc at the gate it can't be used to switch DC because it stay on while current is flowing even when the gate is low but with AC the current stop flowing when the cycle go zero and will switch of if the gate is low
No, diamond is an insulator and does not conduct electricity in its solid state. This is because it does not have free electrons to carry an electric current.
No. Lightning is an electric current flowing through ionized air.
