The heating by the filament causes the electrons to "boil off". Edison noted this phenomena and it was later picked up by Fleming who used a "grid" which could control the flow of the electrons by introducting a repelling field between the Cathode (heated element that emitted the electrons) and the anode that attracted the free electrons, thus the "Fleming Valve" was invented (the vacuum tube.

Beams of electrons that shine on fluorescent materials are used in?
Cathode ray tubes.
In the late 1800s experiments using cathode ray tubes led to the discovery of the electrons?
Yes, it is true: Thomson in 1897.
How do cathode ray tubes work?
The cathode ray tube (CRT) is an evacuated glass envelope containing an electron gun (a source of electrons) and a fluorescent screen, usually with internal or external means to accelerate and deflect the electrons. When electrons strike the fluorescent screen, light is emitted. Source: Copied from Wikipedia
What are examples of electrical to kinetic energy?
electrostatic attraction moving small particles (e.g. electrons in vacuum tubes, deflecting a narrow stream of water, causing pepper flakes to jump, electrons in static sparks or lightning bolts)electric motorsetc.
Why are hollow tubes used instead of solid steel tubes?
For the same amount of metal, hollow tubes are much stronger than solid tubes.
How emission of electrons in vacuum tubes?
A heated metal in a vacuum with an electrical charge can emit electrons. The filament is the part of the tube that gets hot. Some tubes use electrons emitted from the filament. Others use the filament to heat a metal cathode, causing it to emit electrons. The electrons flow to a positively charged "plate" electrode through the vacuum.
Why is the x-ray tube considered an inefficient device?
In X-ray tubes, electrons are emitted from a cathode source to a anode target through a process called thermionic emission. Electrons are then accelerated towards the anode target via a potential energy difference between the cathode and anode. The interaction between the accelerated electrons and atoms in the anode target causes the emission of X-ray. Efficiency of the X-ray tube is impaired by the kinetic energy of the accelerated electrons being loss as heat and only 1% of the remaining energy is used to emit X-ray.
Under what circumstances would one need ear tubes?
Ear tubes or grommets, are used in children to help alleviate persistent infections caused by a blockage in the Eustachian tubes. These blockages can be caused by large adenoids, or blocked nose/sinuses caused by viral infections or allergies.
Beams of electrons that shine on fluorescent materials are used in?
Cathode ray tubes.
What are the role of cathode tubes in atom?
cathode tubes were used to detect the particle in an atom & found that negatively charged particles(electrons) are there in an atom.
What is dry tubes?
Dry tubes are Specially formulated tube helps prevent moisture build-up caused by humidity or perspiration
What hazards are associated with the use of spectrum tubes?
Several of the salt solutions are toxic. Handling electrical apparatus presents a potential hazard. Some ultraviolet radiation may be emitted from emission tubes. Handling hot spectrum tubes immediately after the power is turned off can lead to burns.
Reasons for no air in vacuum tubes?
Vacuum tubes perform their various functions on the principle of streaming electrons: that is electrons able to fly across space from one electrode to another. If there is air in the tube then this is a barrier to the electron's flight and the tube cannot function.
This sound is caused by spasms of the bronchial tubes and is also called wheezing?
rhonchi
What are functions of CRT?
Cathode ray tubes have the task of converting electronic signals into a beam of electrons that create pictures on a screen. In most cases, the screens are made of fluorescent tubes.
Is asthma caused by allergies?
no it is caused when your lung tubes have too much cell thingies in them causing air to not pass through them as easily.
How did J.J. Thomson discover the electrons?
Thomson was experimenting with currents of electricity inside empty glass tubes.
