Question

Which of the following semiconductor devices can be used for controlling the speed of a DC motor?

A.

Thyratron

B.

Thermistor

C.

Transistor

D.

Thyristor

Correct option is D


A thyristor is a semiconductor device used for controlling the flow of electrical power, and it can be employed to regulate the speed of a DC motor. Thyristors function as switches that can turn on and off power to the motor, thus controlling the speed by adjusting the voltage or current supplied to the motor. They are widely used in motor control applications due to their efficiency and reliability.
