Best Answer

Yes from over current from power surges, over driving by the user in case of amplifiers, or other component failure around the transistor. Also overheating can cause transistor failure from poor ventilation or loos heatsink.

What is the Effect of collector resistance in emitter follower circuit?

Colector resistance in an emitter follower circuit serves to place a limit on how much current can be supplied by the transistor. Often, the resistor is sized so that a short circuit in the load does not cause the transistor to fail.
