Which risk increases when exceeding reverse voltage limits in bipolar junction transistors?

💡 Explanation

Thermal runaway is likely because exceeding reverse voltage induces avalanche breakdown at the collector-base junction, increasing current and heat. This positive feedback causes thermal runaway rather than controlled operation; it does not directly affect the base current or cause faster switching.
