Yes from over current from power surges, over driving by the user in case of amplifiers, or other component failure around the transistor. Also overheating can cause transistor failure from poor ventilation or loos heatsink.

What is basic electronic building block of a integrated circuit?
A transistor.
Function of resistor capacitor and transistor on integrated circuit?
resistor
In a well-designed circuit the transistor will act like what?
Voltage amplifier
When a PNP transistor is connected in a circuit it can be used as a power amplifier because?
A PNP transistor has no advantage or disadvantage over an NPN transistor in its ability as an amplifier. Rather, the current-handling capacities of the transistor determine if it's usable as an amplifier.
H parameter equivalent circuit of transistor is valid for?
small signal operations
What is the Effect of collector resistance in emitter follower circuit?
Colector resistance in an emitter follower circuit serves to place a limit on how much current can be supplied by the transistor. Often, the resistor is sized so that a short circuit in the load does not cause the transistor to fail.
How do I identify if a field effect transistor is defective in a circuit?
Is you'll need to short circuit between the drain and the source to identify FET test
Why is it necessary to bias a transistor when it is to be used as an amplifier?
Biasing is necessary in a transistor circuit to keep the transistor working. Without proper biasing, the circuit will fail
What is transistor relay driver?
a transistor circuit for driving the coil of a magnetic relay.
What is the ac equivalent circuit for a transistor?
Transistor are DC output, Triac are AC output.
How transistor acts as a amplifier?
A transistor does not act as an amplifier. It is used as a component in an amplifier circuit.
Internal circuit diagram and working principle of transistor npn sl100?
This mechanism is how a transistor works.
DC blocking in a transistor is achieved by?
Including a series capacitor in the input and/or output circuit of the transistor. If the capacitor in the output circuit is omitted there will be a dc component in the output.
What part in an electric circuit opens and closes the circuit?
A switch, switching transistor, or circuit breaker usually does.
How do you define transistor biasing?
Selection and setting of a transistor's operating pointto meet circuit functional requirements.
What is the typical use of a transistor in an analog circuit?
amplification
The circuit in a bipolar transistor that carries 5 percent of the current flow is the?
the base circuit
