i have a question which i want to ask from you peoples
1) why we use inductor in series with the thyristor??
2) why we use diode parallel with the supply??

Putting an inductor in series with a triac or SCR is to limit the dI/dt because they have that kind of limit. Too fast burns the semiconductor due to hot spots.

As for the diode...depends on the circuit.
