Q3. A power MOSFET, for which θjC = 4 oC/W, is mounted on a heat sink
with θjA = 5 oC/W. The mounting method uses a 0.2 mm thick mica
spacer that introduces an additional thermal resistance of 1 oC/W
between the transistor case and the heat sink. During its operation, the
transistor carries an average drain current of 1 A at an average drainsource voltage of 10 V. If the ambient temperature is 25 oC, find the
operating temperatures of the transistor case and the heat sink.

required.
