Vacuum Tubes in Radio Detectors and Electron Theory
A radio column explains vacuum tubes as detectors amplifiers and oscillators. It covers electron theory, ions, and how emission enables current flow in vacuum tubes, noting the role of filaments and oxide coatings in electron emission.
Electron Emission in Vacuum Tube Demonstration
A spherical glass bulb shows a heated filament C-D emitting electrons. As the BR and BY batteries raise plate voltage, electrons move to the positive plate, deflecting the current meter. At constant filament temp, further plate voltage increases do not raise plate current once all emitted electrons are attracted. higher filament temp yields more electrons emitted.
