Discrete transistors T1 and T2 having maximum collector current rating of 0.75A are connected in parallel as shown in the figure. This combination is treated as a single transistor to carry a single current of 1A, when biased with a self bias circuit. When the circuit is switched ON, T1 had draws 0.55A and T2 draws 0.45A. If the supply is kept ON continuously, it is very likely that_________

Transistor Biasing and Thermal Stabilization topics include: Operating point, bias stability, collector-to-base and collector-emitter bias, self bias, bias compensation, thermistor, thermal runway and stability. Transistor biasing is the process of setting a transistor's DC operating voltage or current conditions to the correct level. It's necessary to activate a transistor and make analog and digital operation possible.  The process of making the operating point independent of temperature changes or variations in transistor parameters is known as stabilization.
