once triggered, the gate of the _______ loses control of the current flow and it will keep conducting.
triac
scr
both a and b

Explanation:

Both SCR (Silicon Controlled Rectifier) and triac are thyristor devices. Once triggered via their gate, the gate loses control over current flow, and the device continues conducting until the current drops below its holding current. SCR is a unidirectional thyristor, triac is bidirectional, but both share this key characteristic.

Answer:

C. both A and B
