Correct Answer - Option 2 : 714 mA

Concept:

  • The derating factor of a transistor is the amount by which the power dissipating rating of a transistor falls when the transistor junction temperature increases.
  • The power dissipation rating of a transistor is usually given at 25°C.
  • At higher temperatures, the power dissipation rating is less. For most silicon transistors, the maximum allowable junction temperature is between 150° and 200°C.
  • Temperatures higher than this will destroy the transistor. This is why a manufacturer must specify a maximum power rating for the transistor.

ΔTJ = θ.PD     ----(1)

Where,

ΔTJ = Change in Temperature

θ = Derating factor and

PD = Power Dissipated.

Calculation:

Given:

θ = -5 mW/0C

ΔTJ = 65 - 25 = 400C

Power available after derating at 650C

From equation (1):

P = 700 - 5 × 40

P = 500 mW

As,

P = V.I

500 = 0.7 × I

I = 714 mA.
