A vacuum tube, also known as a thermionic valve, is an electronic device that controls electric current flow in a vacuum between electrodes. Key characteristics include the presence of a cathode that emits electrons when heated, an anode that collects these electrons, and one or more control grids that modulate the flow of current. Vacuum tubes can amplify signals and are known for their high voltage and current handling capabilities, as well as their ability to operate at high frequencies. They are primarily used in audio amplification, radio transmission, and some specialized applications today.

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.
