A heat sink is generally used with a transistor to______________?
Correct answer: D. prevent excessive temperature rise
- A. increase the forward current
- B. decrease the forward current
- C. compensate for excessive doping
- D. prevent excessive temperature rise
Explanation
A heat sink conducts heat away from the transistor and increases the area available for cooling. It prevents the junction temperature from rising excessively and helps avoid thermal damage.
