A Triac is a semiconductor device that can control the flow of electric current in both directions, making it highly versatile for AC power control applications. It operates by being triggered into conduction by a small current applied to its gate, allowing it to switch high power loads with minimal control power.

A semiconductor device is like a magic switch that helps control electricity in all the cool gadgets we use, like phones and computers. It can turn electricity on and off, making things work or stop, just like a light switch in your home.

Electric current is the flow of electric charge through a conductor, typically measured in amperes. It is a fundamental aspect of electricity, enabling the operation of electrical devices and the transmission of power across distances.

Conduction is the process by which heat or electricity is directly transmitted through a substance when there is a difference of temperature or electrical potential, without movement of the material. It occurs at the microscopic level as energy is transferred between particles through collisions and interactions.
