contains only a heated electron-emitting cathode and an anode. Electrons can only flow in one direction through the device—from the cathode to the anode. Adding one or more control grids within the tube allows the current between the cathode and anode to be controlled by the voltage on the grids.[5]

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.


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.


Can you measure a vacuum tube using ohmmeter?

Maybe, but not sure info would be useful. You can use ohmmeter to check that a tube's filament is intact. Broken/burned-out filament is most likely reason for dead tube.


How can you replace transistor with vacuum tube?

A: ABSOLUTELY but only in its function . To implement a change requires additional power requirements and design


Is vacuum tube a voltage controlled device?

yes, effectively a voltage controlled conductance. (conductance being the reciprocal of resistance)

What does it tell you about a vacuum tube if you see the getter of that vacuum tube is no longer silvery but has turned white?

It means that the glass envelope has leaked and is no longer a vacuum. Air inside has oxidized the getter. They generally no longer work in this condition.
