Question

"The transistor base-emitter voltage (VBE) a. increases with an increase in temperature. b. is not affected by temperature change. c. decreases with an increase in temperature. d. has no effect on collector current."

Answer 1

Answer:

C) Decreases with an increase in temperature

Explanation:

As the temperature of a transistor increases, the thermal runaway property of the transistor becomes more significant and the transistors, conducting more freely as a result of the rise in temperature, causes an increase in the collector current or leakage current. The transistor base-emitter voltage decreases as a result.

With increased heating due to heavy current flow, the transistor is damaged.
