IS vacuum tube ohmic?

Vacuum tubes are generally not considered ohmic devices. Ohmic materials exhibit a linear relationship between voltage and current, described by Ohm's law (V = IR). In contrast, vacuum tubes operate based on thermionic emission and can exhibit nonlinear characteristics, meaning their current-voltage relationship can vary based on factors like temperature and applied voltage. Thus, they do not maintain a constant resistance across different operating conditions.


What is a nonohmic resistance?

A nonohmic resistance is a type of electrical component that does not follow Ohm's law, meaning that its current-voltage relationship is not linear. In nonohmic materials, the resistance can change with voltage, current, or temperature, resulting in varying resistance under different conditions. Examples include diodes, transistors, and certain types of thermistors. This behavior contrasts with ohmic resistors, which maintain a constant resistance regardless of the applied voltage or current.

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.
