The maximum each device in that stage must dissipate is about

  • A.3.6 W
  • B.7.3 W
  • C.36 W
  • D.18 W

Answer: B

Class B dissipation peaks at about two thirds of full swing:

\[ \begin{aligned} P_{d} &= \frac{V_{cc}^{2}}{\pi^{2}R} \\ &\approx \frac{576}{79} \\ &\approx 7.3 \ \mathrm{W} \end{aligned} \]

which is about 7.3 W per device, roughly a fifth of the output power. Sizing the heatsink from the full-output condition instead would badly understate the requirement, since dissipation there is much lower - which is the practical reason the peak's position matters. A single measurement chosen to respond to the one asymmetry beats several that respond to shared behaviour.
