Assertion: amplifier's power | /r/HasProperty | dissipated by the transistor
Facets:
Source sentences:
text: The standing bias current (the Quiescent Current) is sufficient to make the collector voltage fall to half the supply voltage, and therefore power (P = I C x V CC /2) is being dissipated by the transistor whether any signal is being amplified or not.
text: then the current through the output transistors is doubled which increases the power dissipated by the transistor by a factor of 4.
