How many vacuum tube in one transistor?

There are no vacuum tubes in a transistor. A vacuum tube is an electronic device that uses a heated cathode in a vacuum to direct and control an electron stream to an anode, also known as the plate. The vacuum tube is old technology, but it is still used today, typically in high power applications such as transmitters. A transistor is an electronic device that uses solid-state semiconductors to similarly control an electron stream. The transistor is newer than the vacuum tube. It offers lower power, smaller size, easier use and other enhancements over vacuum tubes, within limits, of course, such as voltage and power.


Difference between transistor and vacuum tube?

They are both used for similar functions, such as oscillators, amplifiers, and switches. The vacuum tube was invented first, and has therefore been around longer than the transistor.


Is there a PNP as in transistor vacuum tube?

No. The PNP or NPN of a transistor refers to the doping or impurities introduced to the silicon during manufacturing, and changes the polarity of the supply voltage to each pin. In a vacuum tube, the anode is always positive, the cathode is always negative. The control grid can vary between more negative than the cathode to cut off current flow, up to equal to the potential of the cathode, at which point the tube is saturated, or at full current. There is no 'reverse polarity' tube to correspond with the two types of transistor.


What is the difference between vacuum tubes and transistors?

A vacuum tube is a current amplifier where the transistor amplifies voltageA tube is a voltage amplifier. A transistor is a current amplifier. A tube is an older design that requires substantial voltage to operate correctly. A transistor is a semiconductor device that operates on relatively low voltage.


What is a crystal triode?

A crystal triode is the old term for transistor. Crystal diodes were well established by the time transistors were invented, so using vacuum tube terminology, the logical name for a diode whose current could be controlled by a third element was "crystal triode".

What characteristics made the transistor better than the vacuum tube?

There were obvious differences between the trasisitor and the vacum tube. The transistor was faster, more reliable, smaller, and much cheaper to build than a vacuum tube. One transmisor was the equivalent 40 vacuum tubes. They also didn't produce heat compare it to a vacuum tubes. Conduct electricity faster and better than vacuum tubes.

When did transistors replace the vacuum tube?

A Transistor is an electronic device which amplifies electrical signals, or acts as a switch. Most of the research on Transistors was performed by Shockley in 1947. That was when, the advantages of the solid state device similar in function to a Triode Vacuum tube were understood and implemented. The basic advantage was compactness..
