A signal of 1 kHz is to be amplified, but the circuit board and wires pick up and store 60 Hz component from a nearby electric line. If this component is 40 dB higher than the desired signal, what filter stop band attenuation is necessary to ensure the signal remains 20 dB above the interferer level?
Thermal runaway in a transistor biased in the active region is due to
1. heating of the transistor.
2. change in β due to increase in temperature.
3. change in reverse collector saturation current due to rise in temperature.
4. base emitter voltage VBE which decreases with rise in temperature.
