For the network of Fig. 17.19

a. Write an equation for the voltage from gate to ground for the SCR.

---

b. What is the voltage V_GK when R_S = R′?

---

c. Find R_S to establish a turn-on voltage of 2 V if R′ = 10 kΩ.

---

d. When the alarm turns on, what is the current through the relay?

---

e. At V_A = 0 V, the maximum dc current through the rate-effect resistor will be established. What is its value?

---

f. When the reset button is activated, is there any reason for concern about spikes in voltage anywhere in the network? How could they be suppressed?
