Vacuum tubes cannot eat. Perhaps you could word your question so as to be more specific for the type of answers desired. The word "something" is very broad and permits many answers.

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.


How does a vacuum tube work?

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]


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

Why is the cathode-ray tube in figure 4 connected to a vacuum pump?

A Cathode-ray tube is a vacuum that is used to get the air out. Cathode rays (electrons) cannot penetrate through any significant amount of air.


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).

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.


Can sound travel through vacuum tube?

No, sound requires a medium such as air, water, or a solid to travel because it involves the propagation of mechanical vibrations. In a vacuum, there is no medium for sound waves to travel through, so sound cannot propagate.


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.


What does vacuum tube mean?

an electron tube containing a near-vacuum that allows the free passage of electric current.


What is something that cannot be penetrated?

A vacuum, or empty space, cannot be penetrated because it lacks any physical substance to be pierced or entered.
