The class B push-pull circuit can deliver 100 W of a.c. output power. What should be the minimum power rating of each transistor ?

Correct answer: A. 20 W

  • A. 20 W
  • B. 40 W
  • C. 10 W
  • D. 80 W

Explanation

At the worst-case dissipation point in a Class B push-pull stage, each transistor dissipates about 0.2 times the maximum a.c. output power. Thus each device needs a rating of about 0.2 × 100 = 20 W.
