The document analyzes the transistor circuit of an FM transmitter to ensure it does not exceed the maximum power rating of 0.5 Watts for the 2N2222A NPN transistor. It calculates the collector current, emitter voltage, and power output of the circuit. The power is determined to be 124 mW, which is below the 0.5 Watt maximum rating and will not overheat or destroy the transistor.

The 2N2222A NPN transistors maximum power max P is 0.5 Watts. Power dictates transmission range and exceeding this maximum will overheat and destroy the transistor. Recall that power is calculated as
ce c V I P =
Here, c I is the transistor collector current and ce V is the transistor collector and emitter voltage.
In the schematic, the collector voltage c V is the 6 Volt battery and is related to the emitter voltage e V as
e e c ce V V V V = = 6
Bipolar transistors like the 2N2222A have a 0.7 Volt difference between e V and the base voltage b V
V b V e = 0:7Volts
The schematic shows that V b results from a voltage divider created by the two resistors R 2 and R 3 . Calculating, one has
V b = R 2 +R 3 6R 3 = 10+4:7 k 64:7 k = 1:92 Volts
Consequently, the emitter voltage and emitter current become
V e = 1:92 0:7 = 1:22 Volts
I e = R 4 V e = 47 1:22 V = 25:96 mA
From the schematic, the emitter and collector currents are approximately equal. As such the power now can be calculated. Since V ce = 6 1:22 = 4:78 Volts the resulting power of the wireless transmitter is
