2. Two thyristors are connected in anti-parallel for the voltage control of a single-
phase, series R-L load of phase angle θ to sinusoidal currents of supply frequency.
If the thyristors are each triggered at angle after their respective anode voltage

(b) Sketch the load voltage waveform and calculate its Fourier coefficients a1, b1,
c1, and ψ1 for the fundamental (supply frequency) component.
