Q1 The voltage across a BJT during its 'turn on' period falls linearly from 200 V to 0 V in
1.0 µS. During the same period the current rises from 0 A to 100 A linearly. What is the
energy dissipated in the BJT during the turn on period? If the BJT is turned on and off at
a frequency of 5 kHZ what will be its switching power loss? Assume equal switching off
and switching on periods.
