Vacuum tubes have been built in sizes as small as the eraser on the end of your pencil to as big as a bus. It all depends on the purpose and power requirements. The typical vacuum tube used in household radios and TVs was half an inch to one inch in diameter and two to five inches tall.
What else can I help you with?
How many vacuum tubes are in the Univac I computer?
It used 5200 vacuum tubes.
What generation was vacuum tubes used?
first generation computers
Why transistor is so necessary?
Without the transistor you would need vacuum tubes to accomplish the same thing. None of our inexpensive portable electronics would be possible using vacuum tubes.
What were two weaknesses of the ENIAC computer?
It was difficult to change directions and the vacuum tubes always burned out
What is alternative of semiconductor?
as a material, nothingas a device to perform the function, vacuum tubes or magnetic amplifiers
What is the Size and speed of vacuum tubes computers?
8inchs
Do vacuum tubes did it lead to an increase or decrease in size?
Vacuum tubes initially led to an increase in size of electronic devices due to their bulky nature and need for additional components. However, as technology advanced, the development of smaller, more efficient components such as transistors and integrated circuits led to a decrease in size of electronic devices.
How many vacuum tubes are in the Univac I computer?
It used 5200 vacuum tubes.
How are solid state components like vacuum tubes?
Solid state components, such as transistors, are more reliable and efficient than vacuum tubes. They are smaller in size, produce less heat, and consume less power. Additionally, solid state components do not require warm-up time like vacuum tubes do.
Describe two problems associated with vacuum tubes in the first computers?
I'm not sure what you mean by "this computer" but vacuum tubes have the following problems anywhere they are used:high voltage required for operationget very hotshort lifetime, heater burns outlarge physical size
Do all vacuum tubes light up?
No, there are some cold cathode vacuum tubes. These do not light.
Where was vacuum tube was made?
who made the vacuum tubes
Where is a good place near Seattle where you can buy old vacuum tubes?
This would depend on the type of vacuum tubes needed. Any car part store will carry vacuum tubes for a car, general stores carry vacuum tubes for household vacuums, and AC part stores will carry vacuum tubes for the AC/Heating system of a house.?æ
Why were researchers looking for a replacement for vacuum tubes?
Bell Labs researchers were unsatisfied with the low reliably, high power usage, and large size of the vacuum tubes that needed to be used in the telephone switching and long distance trunk systems of the 1940s.
How many vacuum tubes in first generation computer?
ENIAC was the first digital general purpose computer, built in 1946, and with 17,468 vacuum tubes. The Illiac I, the first computer built and owned by a US educational institution, had 2800 vacuum tubes. The IBM 604 had about 2000 vacuum tubes.
What technology replaced vacuum tubes in the second generation?
Vacuum tubes were first replaced by transistors, and later by integrated circuits.
Why modern devices use integrated circuit instead of vacuum tubes?
Modern devices use integrated circuits instead of vacuum tubes because integrated circuits occupy less space than vacuum tubes, are more efficient, consumes less energy and are more reliable than vacuum tubes.
