Hello ...
I have a question about Triac ...
As I understand the Triac is a trigger conditioned "wire" ...
So I connected Terminal1 of the Triac to the cathode of the LED and the anode of the LED to a resistor then to the +Ve of the battery and terminal2 of the Triac to the -Ve of the battery then I triggered the triac by connecting the gate to the +Ve of the battery then the LED gave light (The circuit diagram at the right of the attached picture)...
And that is what suppose to happen ...
Then I connected Terminal2 of the Triac to the cathode of the LED and the anode of the LED to a resistor then to the +Ve of the battery and terminal1 of the Triac to the -Ve of the battery then I triggered the triac by connecting the gate to the +Ve of the battery then the LED DID NOT gave light (The circuit diagram at the left of the attached picture)...
And that is what NOT suppose to happen ...
Can someone tell me what is it?...
Isn`t current suppose to go both ways from T1 to T2 & from T2 to T1 ?...
Is it me that understood the triac wrong or that triac I used was not good or what?...
And thanks ...^_^...
