National Certificate in Technology (NCT) - (Electrical and Electronics Engineering)

The document discusses power electronics topics for a National Certificate in Technology, including questions about silicon controlled rectifiers (SCRs). It asks what an SCR is, the names of its terminals, how it can be turned on and off, and to sketch a waveform for a circuit with SCRs. It also asks about a circuit used to maintain lighting with a backup battery during AC power failures, asking to explain the behavior and purpose of diode D3 in the circuit.
