DIAC Question & Answers

November 8, 2022 By WatElectronics

This article lists 50 DIAC MCQs for engineering students. All the DIAC Questions & Answers given below include a hint and a link wherever possible to the relevant topic. This is helpful for users who are preparing for their exams, interviews, or professionals who would like to brush up on the fundamentals of DIAC.

When power is applied to load it must be regulated. Electrical methods used in controlling fan or motor speed don't provide proper control for the system when power has flowed. An extensive amount of power is wasted in such situations.

In present scenarios, various devices are developed to allow the power flow in control of the larger blocks present in the system. The instrument utilized for such purposes are referred to as Controlled switches and offer control rectification, power inversion, and regulation in loads.

Semiconductor devices that offer to switch are SCR, UJT, TRIACs, and DIACs. Understanding switching devices is more manageable when knowing thyristors. Thyristors can supply half of the power. Two thyristors are combined forms TRIAC.

DIACs are switching and bi-directional devices. A Gate terminal is absent in such devices. Both polarities can switch ON DIACs making it bi-directional. Two Zener diodes are connected to form DIAC and can utilize to trigger TRIACs. Switching lights, Fluorescent lamps, and dimming applications use DIACs.
