Q. In transistor, forward bias is always smaller than the reverse bias. The correct reason is

Haryana PMTHaryana PMT 2010Semiconductor Electronics: Materials Devices and Simple Circuits

Solution:

If forward bias is made large, the majority charge carriers would move from the emitter to the collector through the base with high Velocity, This would give rise to excessive heat causing damage to transistor.
