With no ac input signal applied to the amplifier, the transistor has a power dissipation equal to the voltage, collector to emitter at quiescence times the collector current at quiescence.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The power dissipation in a transistor with no AC input signal (in quiescent state) is indeed the product of the voltage from collector to emitter at quiescence (V_CEQ) and the collector current at quiescence (I_CQ). This represents the static power dissipation of the transistor when it is not amplifying any signal.
