I'd wanted to know what happens in an NPN emitter follower with \${\delta}V=Vcc-Vee\$. At which junction does voltage drop? May this drop be fatal to a transistor?

Best Answer
There will be a loss of one diode drop in the base-emitter junction, and the remainder of the drop is in the collector-base junction. Yes this can cause overheating and destroy the transistor.
