Which reliability risk increases during rapid temperature fluctuations in a BJT?

💡 Explanation

Thermal runaway risk increases dramatically because elevated temperatures at the emitter-base junction cause higher currents, which further increase local heating via the Joule effect; therefore, positive feedback accelerates failure rather than stabilizing the bias point.
