Now, let us consider the situation if the break-down voltage of the semiconduc-
tor switch is ±100 V. In this case too the switch voltage follows the curve given by
Eqn. 11.10-1 till the voltage reaches 100 V. This happens at about 0.05μs as shown below.
100 20 632.82 sin (3.162 10
6
t – 0.032 rad)
i(t) 2 cos (3.162 10
6
t – 0.032 rad) A for t ≥ 0
.
∴i(t) at t 0.05 μs 1.984 A.
From that time, the semiconductor switch enters the break-down mode and
conducts till current becomes zero. The semiconductor switch in break-down mode
maintains a constant voltage of 100 V across itself and thereby acts similar ...

I wanted to learn C and C++, but it didn't click for me until I picked up an O'Reilly book. When I went on the O’Reilly platform, I was astonished to find all the books there, plus live events and sandboxes so you could play around with the technology.
