Best Answer

A vacuum-tube circuit in which the input signal is applied between the control grid and ground, and the load is connected between the cathode and ground. Also known as grounded-anode amplifier; grounded-plate amplifier. It has a VERY high input impedance, and a low output impedance. Both properties have useful applications.
Its equivalent in solid state is the emitter follower.

Difference between direct and indirect cathode ray?

In a directly heated cathode, the filament is the cathode and emits the electrons. In an indirectly heated cathode, the filament or heater heats a separate metal cathode electrode which emits the electrons.


In the cathode ray tube where do the particles originate?

In a cathode ray tube (CRT), the particles, which are electrons, originate at the heated cathode, becoming the so-called cathode rays. The electrons stream off the cathode and rush over to the anode.
