Vacuum tubes are non-ohmic devices
The vacuum tube was invented by Thomas Edison in the late 19th century. However, it was not until Lee de Forest's modification in 1906 that the vacuum tube became an essential component in early electronics.
The transistor replaced the vacuum tube as the primary component in electronic devices, offering smaller size, lower power consumption, and higher reliability. This transition marked the beginning of the semiconductor era in electronics.
The vacuum tube was invented in 1904 by John Ambrose Fleming, an English engineer.
J.J. Thomson is credited with creating the first beam of electrons in a vacuum tube in the late 19th century. This discovery led to the development of the cathode ray tube, which was integral to the development of television and other electronic displays.
A vacuum is needed in the deflection tube to prevent the interference of air molecules with the movement of electrons. Air molecules can scatter and absorb electrons, affecting the accuracy of the electron beam's deflection. By removing air and creating a vacuum, the path of the electrons remains unobstructed, allowing for precise control and movement within the tube.
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.
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.
the vacuum tube
define the nonohmic metarials and give examples to them
A vacuum tube is simply a tube with no oxygen nor carbon dioxide in it (aka no air).
Millman's theorem
no.....thermistors are not ohmic.
who made the vacuum tubes
Tungsten
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.
an electron tube containing a near-vacuum that allows the free passage of electric current.
ohmic conductor does obey ohm 's law. non ohmic conductor does not obey ohm's law.
