Thermal runaway is where the biasing and operating point is such that the temperature causes the gain to increase, which causes the temperature to increase, which causes the gain to increase, in a vicious circle, leading to destruction of the BJT. Proper biasing and gain management can prevent this from occurring.

Why Thermal runaway not a problem in jfet?
caz they have a positive temperature coefficient
Why fet is preferred over the bjt?
Disadvantage:Easy to damage when compared to BJT
How emitter bypass resistor stabilizes the amplifier against temperature?
In the common emitter (Class A) amplifier design of a BJT, gain is collector resistance divided by emitter resistance, or hFe, whichever is less. If the emitter resistance is zero, then gain is hFe. In this configuration, gain is unstable, because hFe is temperature dependent. In fact, under certain circumstances, a BJT can experience thermal runaway. The emitter resistor (along with the collector resistor) places a limit on the expected gain of the stage. If, for example, you design with a ratio of 10, then you expect a gain of 10. If hFe is 25-100, gain is still 10.
What is bjt and jfet?
BJT is Bipolar junction transistor FET is Field effect Transistor It is a current controlled device It is voltage controlled device
What is thermal runaway in BJT?
Thermal runaway is where the biasing and operating point is such that the temperature causes the gain to increase, which causes the temperature to increase, which causes the gain to increase, in a vicious circle, leading to destruction of the BJT. Proper biasing and gain management can prevent this from occurring.
Why there is no thermal runaway in fet?
in FET the conduction is due to the majority carriers. here the minority carrier conduction doesn't takes place as in BJT. hence the current flow depends only on the majority carriers . hence ther is no thermal runaway in FET.

What is thermal runaway in transistors?
The excess heat produced at the collector base junction may even burn and destroy the transistor.This situation is called thermal runaway.

Advantages of fet over bjt?
mainly i will tell ttwo advantages:- 1)in FET "thermal runaway" never occurs but in bjt it occurs easily...thermal runaway means overheating and damage of fet due to different biasing voltages.. 2) since FET is a unipolar device so only one carrier type is required here ,but bjt is a bipolar device .. 3) FET is smaller in size than BJT of same rating. i mean to say that at the place of 10 bjts we can use 90 FETs ..so area cosumption is less
Why are thermal runaway reactions dangerous on an industrial site?
because they are.
How does industry control the risks of thermal runaway reactions?
they dont
How industry controls the risks of thermal runaway?
very safely
Why semiconductor has negative temperature coefficient of resistance?
Actually, the BJT is a positive temperature coefficient device. As they get warm, hFe increases, causing more current flow. This can lead to thermal runaway. That is why most class A common emitter configurations use an emitter resistor to place limits on the hFe demand, eliminating thermal drift and runaway.
