Definitions of vacuum tube
Definition that contains vacuum tube
  • plate the positively charged electrode in a vacuum tube
  • ne a colorless odorless gaseous element that give a red glow in a vacuum tube; one of the six inert gasses; occurs in the air in small amounts
  • grid an electrode placed between the cathode and anode of a vacuum tube to control the flow of electrons through the tube
  • neon a colorless odorless gaseous element that give a red glow in a vacuum tube; one of the six inert gasses; occurs in the air in small amounts
  • crt a vacuum tube in which a hot cathode emits a beam of electrons that pass through a high voltage anode and are focused or deflected before hitting a phosphorescent screen
  • triode a thermionic vacuum tube having three electrodes; fluctuations of the charge on the grid control the flow from cathode to anode which makes amplification possible
  • c battery battery used to maintain the grid potential in a vacuum tube
  • control grid an electrode placed between the cathode and anode of a vacuum tube to control the flow of electrons through the tube
  • electron multiplier a vacuum tube that amplifies a flow of electrons
  • tickler coil a small coil in series with the anode of a vacuum tube and coupled to the grid to provide feedback
