When the junction temperature of a transistor increases, it increases the collector current causing a further increase in temperature and this process is called Thermal runway.

So, option (2) is correct.

Notes:

Thermal resistance between collector-base junction develops due to thermal run-way.

 

Where,

θ = Thermal resistance

Tj = collector Junction Temperature

TA = Ambient temperature

PD = Power dissipation along collector junction.

Thermal resistance increases due to increase in Junction temperature.

Thermal run-away can be avoided if:

 

Where,

  is rate at which heat is released.

 is rate at which heat is dissipated.
