Which outcome occurs when a germanium transistor is cooled significantly?

A)Reduced base current amplification occurs
B)Increased thermal runaway propagation
C)Electron orbitals fully localize atoms
D)Increased minority injection increases power

💡 Explanation

Reduced amplification results because decreased thermal energy reduces the average electron energy, which reduces the likelihood of electrons reaching other available orbitals via thermal excitation. It is reduced base current amplification, therefore, rather than increasing amplification or thermal effects under cooler conditions.
