Which parameter is most important for selecting a heat sink for a power transistor?
Correct Answer:
B. Thermal resistance (θJA)
EXPLANATION
Thermal resistance θJA (junction to ambient) determines how effectively heat is dissipated. Lower θJA values indicate better heat dissipation capability, essential for power dissipation calculations: Tj = Ta + (P × θJA).
