What is the primary function of To control the flow of electrical power by
power semiconductor switches? alternating between ON (conducting) and OFF
(blocking) states.


What happens in the ON state of The switch allows current to flow with minimal
a power semiconductor switch? voltage drop.


What occurs in the OFF state of a The switch stops current flow while sustaining
power semiconductor switch? a voltage across it.
