Emitter resistance in a BJT bias circuit improves thermal stability mainly by providing?

  • ANegative feedback against increases in emitter and collector current
  • BPositive feedback that increases current indefinitely
  • COptical isolation
  • DA higher transistor breakdown voltage directly

Correct Answer: A. Negative feedback against increases in emitter and collector current
Explanation: If current rises, the emitter voltage rises across RE, reducing effective base-emitter drive and opposing the current increase.
