Vacuum Tubes

We сan define electronics as the study of conduction of electricity in a vacuum, in gases and in semiconductors. The conduction of electricity in a vacuum occurs in vacuum tubes. Though in some vacuum tubes current flows from one element to the other through a gas.

A diode is a two-element vacuum tube containing an emitter of electrons, known as the cathode, and a collector electrode, termed the anode or plate. When the circuit is completed, the cathode emits electrons. Negative voltage on the cathode repels the electrons. Positive voltage on the plate attracts the electrons. The current flows through the tube. If a negative voltage is applied to the plate, current does not flow. Thus, a diode permits current to flow in only one direction. Diodes are used as rectifiers of alternating voltage, as detectors of radio signals, as switching devices, etc. The detector and rectifier tubes differ in size and current capacity but have the same general type of characteristics.

A triode is a three-electrode vacuum tube containing an emitting electrode called the cathode, a control electrode called the grid, and a current-collecting electrode called the anode or plate. When heated the cathode emits electrons. Electrons flow from the cathode to the plate. The grid is placed between the cathode and the plate. It controls the flow of electrons. The closer the grid is to the cathode, the more influence it has on the electron flow. Even if a small negative voltage is applied to the grid, this results in a large plate current. If a large negative voltage is applied to the grid, the plate current decreases. For example, the plate voltage is 150 volts. A small negative voltage of 10 volts is applied to the grid. This results in a current flow of 20 m. a. But if the negative voltage on the grid is decreased to 8 volts, this will result in a current of 30 m. a. Due to this property of a triode, it can be used for amplification.
