#159727 - explanation
Responding to: ???'s previous message
Ap Charles said:
Then why did you want me to explain the conditions causing the failures

No, I didn't ask you to explain them - I simply noted that you hadn't given any details, so Kai's assumptions about the type of transistor and cause of failure might not be applicable to your particular case:

the Question posted in the FIRST place shows the randomness of the phenomenon?

No, it doesn't:
you said:
Hi, If an NPN transistor in the circuit blows . Should we expect any voltage entering from collector to base , or is it a case of open circuit?.

The question asks to give a specific expectation - that's impossible for a random phenomenon, isn't it?!

I was only interested in knowing what happens to the base in the worst case .

You did't mention "worst case" - see above.

I dont get you when you ask for me getting specific on the topic .

You asked for a specific expectation - you can't expect a specific conclusion from an unspecified cause!
