For an SCR the total turn-on time consists of i) Delay time ii) Rise time and iii) Spread time During the delay time the

Correct Answer: anode current flows only near the gate
Initially for a fraction of a microsecond (delay time) after the gate signal is applied the anode current only flows near the gate terminal where the gate current density is maximum, as the gate current takes some time to spread all over the cross section of the device.
