Which outcome results when an amplifier circuit experiences thermal runaway?

A)Increased transistor power dissipation.
B)Decreased transistor saturation current.
C)Improved amplifier signal linearity.
D)Stable bias point maintenance.

💡 Explanation

Increased transistor power dissipation happens because the positive temperature coefficient enhances transistor gain, therefore leading to greater collector current. This outcome exemplifies thermal runaway, rather than stabilization, due to positive feedback dominating.
