Where was vacuum tube was made?
who made the vacuum tubes
What is in a vacuum tube?
Millman's theorem
What computer component did the transistor replace?
the vacuum tube
Can sound travel through vacuum tube?
Sound cannot travel through vacuum, but unless there is sufficient insulation, sound might travel through the material the tube is made of.
What gas is used in a vacuum tube?
A vacuum tube does not contain any gases. All the gases are evacuated from the tube and only vacuum is left.
Who made the beam of electrons in vacuum tube?
This beam of electrons is emited by the cathode under voltage difference.
What are the elements of a vacuum tube?
A vacuum tube is simply a tube with no oxygen nor carbon dioxide in it (aka no air).
If Torricelli had drilled a little hole at the top of a glass tube holding his mercury column what would have happened to his barometer?
He would not have had a barometer. He would have had a glass tube stuck into a bowl of Mercury, with nothing in it. Because once the hole was made the vacuum would be gone and the mercury would fall back down to the bowl.It takes the vacuum in the tube to create a barometer.
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 were vacuum tubes invented?
Although the discovery was made of the principles for the vacuum tube around 1873 it was not put into practice until the early 1900's.
What replaced the vacuum tube?
The transistor replaced the vacuum tube, allowing radios to get much smaller and portable.
How many KB is a vacuum tube?
Kilobytes and vacuum tubes are not in the same category. At best, a twin triode vacuum tube is a single flip-flop and can hold 1 bit of information, making a vacuum tube about 0.000122 of a kilobyte.
