A resistive load of 5 ? is connected to an ac source of 120 V (rms) through an SCR circuit.

a. If the SCR circuit consists of a single SCR, and if the triggering angle is
adjusted to 30o, calculate the power consumption of the load.

b. If the SCR circuit consists of two back-to-back SCRs, calculate the power
consumption of the load assuming that the triggering angle is kept at 30o
