As the temperature of a transistor goes up, the base-emitter resistance___________?

Correct answer: A. decreases

  • A. decreases
  • B. increases
  • C. remains the same
  • D. none of the above

Explanation

As temperature rises, leakage current increases and the base-emitter voltage needed for conduction falls, so the effective base-emitter resistance decreases. This follows from the transistor's stronger carrier activity at higher temperature.
