Assertion (A): The surge current which an SCR can withstand is much higher than rms on state current. Reason (R): The duration of surge current is very small.

Assertion (A): The surge current which an SCR can withstand is much higher than rms on state current.

Reason (R): The duration of surge current is very small.

[A].	Both A and R are correct and R is correct explanation of A
[B].	Both A and R correct but R is not correct explanation of A
[C].	A is correct but R is wrong
[D].	A is wrong but R is correct

Answer: Option A

Explanation:

Since duration of surge current is small, the associated energy is small.
