Question

The bias point of a transistor occurs when the supply voltage exceeds the breakdown voltage of a transistor.

(a) True

(b) False

This question was posed to me in class test.

The above asked question is from The Operating Point in section Transistor Biasing and Thermal Stabilization of Electronic Devices & Circuits

Answer 1

Correct choice is (b) False

For explanation I would say: Bias point can be set on the basis of DC load line that is Q point can be found out only without applying any input. The DC load line is defined as the line drawn in response of collector current and base emitter voltage when no input is applied.
