Pitting of the anode's focal track is caused by vaporizing of the tungsten disk, a result of the enormous heat produced during normal operation. Pitting reduces the efficiency of the tube.

How are craters fomed on the moon?

Craters on the Moon are formed by the impacts of meteoroids of varying sizes. Small rocks make small craters, and bigger rocks make larger craters.


What is focusing cup?

Filament Cup : A small target for electron bombardment on the anode is essential. (image geometrical un-sharpness). Unless steps are taken, the random thermally induced velocities and mutual repulsion of the electrons leaving the cathode will cause a broad beam to strike the anode. Therefore the filament is surrounded by a metal cup, kept at the same potential as the filament. The cup provides an electric field which causes a focusing action on the electrons to produce the desired small target area on the anode


What is Jupiter's terrain?

it has craters and small mountains


How many craters Earth?

There are a huge number of craters on the Earth, including very small impact sites. There are about 65 named and documented craters on the planet.


These things are known to have battered the moon?

Space rocks. On Earth we would call them "meteors", because they would generally burn up while passing through the atmosphere. The Moon has no atmosphere, so there's nothing to prevent small space rocks from crashing into it. This has left the Moon covered with millions of craters; big craters, little craters, craters IN craters, and craters ON craters.


What forms when small meteorites crash into the Moon?

When small meteorites crash into the Moon, they create impact craters. These craters can vary in size depending on the size and speed of the meteorite. Over time, the accumulation of these impact craters contributes to the Moon's rugged and cratered surface.


What is The planet known for being covered in cliffs and craters and having a weak magnetic field is?

The planet known for being covered in cliffs and craters and having a weak magnetic field is Mercury. It is the closest planet to the Sun and has a surface marked by extensive impact craters due to its lack of a significant atmosphere. Mercury's weak magnetic field is a result of its small size and slow rotation, which limits its ability to generate a strong dynamo effect.


What is thought to be the reason that there are no small impact craters on Mars?

Small impact craters on Mars may not be as common as on other planetary bodies due to its thin atmosphere. The atmosphere is thick enough to slow down small meteoroids, causing them to break apart or disintegrate before reaching the surface. Additionally, features such as dust storms and erosion processes could further obscure or erase smaller impact craters over time.


What are anode and cathode streamers?

Since streamers are formed b/c of avalanche present in the gap. If the gap is small the transformation occurs only when the avalanche reach the anode and is called Cathode Streamer. If the discharge gap is quite large, over-voltages are large and hence the avalanche transfers from anode to cathode called Anode Streamer.


Why are some craters very small on the moon and others are gig?

because they are different from us


What are the holes in the moon called?

I think there are called craters. I thinks so dont take my word for it.


The youngest features visible with telescopes on the Moon are?

Rilles, which are long, narrow depressions on the lunar surface.filesize Gorge, which are cliffs or escarpments. They are formed by tectonic stresses or volcanic activity. And small craters, which are impact structures caused by meteorite strikes.
