To determine
The words for which the letter SCR stands for.
Expert Solution & Answer

Explanation of Solution
The SCR stands for silicon controlled rectifier and is made by joining four layers of the semiconductor material that are PNPN junction.
The other name for SCR is thyristors, the SCR have three terminal named as gate, anode and the cathode. The gate terminal is attached to the P layer and near to the cathode terminal K. Also the SCR is seen as the combination of PNP and NPN transistor.
Thus, the SCR stands for silicon controlled rectifier.
