then the minimum and maximum
values of ϕ (in radians) are respectively







Assuming latching
and holding currents of the thyristor are both zero and the initial charge on C is
zero, T conducts for 

When connected in
feedback as shown below, the approximate value of Ka that will reduce the time constant of the
closed loop system by one hundred times as compared to that of the open-loop system is
If the output of the system is
then the input, x(t), is given by
