Rajeev9608
It is stated that one of the voltage is greater in thyristor whether it be forward breakover or reverse breakdown voltage. It is also stated that the greater of the 2 voltages in thyristor is the forward breakover voltage.

Which voltage is greater in thyristor whether forward breakover or reverse breakdown voltage?
One voltage is greater in thyristor whether forward breakover or reverse breakdown voltage. The greater of the two voltages in thyristor is forward breakover voltage.
What does forced commutation mean?
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.
Why zener diode used as voltage regulator?
It has a very sharp reverse breakdown voltage curve and is not damaged by the reverse current, as some normal diodes might be.
Difference between a diode and a transistor?
diode is a bipolar device and transister is a three terminal device a diode will conduct any time there is a positive voltage from cathode[-] to anode[+] following an exponetial curve of the diode. a transistor can control the same exponential curves by a voltage applied to the base.
Does zener diode works after breakdown voltage?
Yes. The intended use of a zener diode is to be reverse biased at the breakdown voltage. In this mode, the zener has high slope in the current to voltage curve, making it a good choice for voltage regulation.
Which voltage is greater in thyristor whether forward breakover or reverse breakdown voltage?
One voltage is greater in thyristor whether forward breakover or reverse breakdown voltage. The greater of the two voltages in thyristor is forward breakover voltage.
Is fwd break over voltage is greater than reverse breakdown voltage i.e VboVbr?
forward breakover voltage is slightly smaller than reverse breakdown voltage
What are the necessary conditions for turning ON an silicon controlled rectifier?
A: Two conditions one the gate has current flowing trough the other is forward voltage breakdown
How are power diode classified?
by reverse breakdown voltage & forward current capacity
Turn off and turn off mechanism of thyristor?
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.
Characteristics of diodes?
forward drop, reverse breakdown voltage, power rating. hope that's what you wanted.
What is Meaning of diode rating?
There are two diode ratings. One is the forward current rating, and the other is the reverse breakdown voltage rating. The forward current rating is the maximum current that the diode can conduct before failing, and the reverse breakdown voltage rating is the maximum reverse voltage that can be applied before failing. Of course, the reverse voltage rating has a different meaning in a zener diode, but this answer applies to ordinary diodes.
Difference between diode and zener diode?
All diodes have a tiny voltage when current flows in a 'forward' direction. And a Reverse Breakdown voltage when current tries to flow in a reverse direction resulting in a high voltage. That current does not flow until voltage exceeds its breakdown number. Regular diodes have a reverse breakdown voltage that is somewhere above a number, For example a 1N4002 has a Reverse Breakdown Voltage somewhere above 100 volts. A Zener diode is constructed so that its Reverse Breakdown voltage is clearly defined and accurate. For example Reverse Breakdown voltage for a 1N4733 is 5.1 volts. A !N4734 is 5.6 volts.

Zener diode operates In an extremely high forward bias?
False, a zener diode is normally operated reverse biased in breakdown.
What electronic component conducts electric current in only one direction?
diode it conducts when it is forward bised in reverse bias there is breakdown
What resistance does a practical diode offer under reverse-biased conditions if the applied reverse voltage is greater than the breakdown voltage?
A normal diode with reverse voltage in excess of its rated breakdown voltage could fail. Resistance could be high (blown open) or low (shorted).
