What is the purpose of a grid?
a grid is aa pattern of regularly spaced horizontal and vertical linespower system: a system of high tension cables by which electrical power is distributed throughout a regionso basically it is used to view information more easily and more organized!
Vacuum tube grid current changes in?
In normal operation there is no grid current, only a voltage.
What is the job of a dynamo in the national grid?
The national grid is a means of distributing electricity, there is no need for a dynamo (which produces electricity) in the national grid. However, dynamos (generators) are needed in the power stations.
What is the difference between Land Grid Array and Pin Grid Array?
One has pin in front, one has land
The emission of electrons in high-vacuum tubes is caused by?
The heating by the filament causes the electrons to "boil off". Edison noted this phenomena and it was later picked up by Fleming who used a "grid" which could control the flow of the electrons by introducting a repelling field between the Cathode (heated element that emitted the electrons) and the anode that attracted the free electrons, thus the "Fleming Valve" was invented (the vacuum tube.
What is the positively charged disk called of a cathode?
(ion)grid
Why is the oscilloscope beam set to lowest grid line?
so that there is no higher deflection on the screen
What is the use of a control grid in cathode ray tube?
The grid in a cathode ray tube is used to control the beam current. The grid in the CRT is positioned near the cathode, and between it (the cathode) and any other elements, like those for focusing. The cathode is the (cylindrical) element that is coated with a metal that has good thermionic properties. That means that as it gets hot, electrons from within its structure reach such high thermal energies that they can actually leave and hang around outside of the metal itself. (Recall that the tube is very highly evacuated.) There is a heater inside the cathode to heat it up to set up the thermionic emission and the space charge. The grid is actually close to the cathode so it can affect this space charge. If the grid is driven negative, the negative grid will "push" on the space charge (the cloud of negative electrons) and keep it in place. (The tube is said to be cut off.) As the grid is driven positive, it will start attracting electrons. Yes, some will actually go to the grid, but the majority will, when flying away from the cathode (and becoming cathode rays) be "caught" by the high voltage on the anode. The stream of electrons, called a beam (because it's focused) will be pulled past the grid to go do their thing at the anode itself. The anode is actually the phosphor coating on the inside of the tube at the "front" where the viewer looks. Electrons smack the coating on the inside of the glass of the tube at a point where they are aimed and ionize it causing it to emit photons. The photons (light) will travel through the glass and out of the tube to the viewer's eyes. Recall that the grid is close to the cathode, and it tells the space charge what to do. If the grid is negative, the space charge huddles near the cathode and the tube is cut off. If the grid becomes a bit positive, some electrons zip out from the cathode, past the grid and on out to the anode. The more positive the grid, the more electrons are called out from the cathode to make the trip to the anode. Moving electrons are current. And the grid is controlling the amount of beam current.
A grid in a high vacuum diode is usually kept negatively charged with respect to the cathode so that the electrons may be?
the grid is negative so it can control the amount of electrons coming off the cathode. To stop or decrease intensity of cathode ray/electron beam, it is made more negative (to repel electrons as negative charge and negative charge repel) and to increase intensity, the grid is made less negative.
What is a tetrode?
A tetrode is an electronic tube with four electrodes; cathode, grid, screen, and plate.
What controls the number of electrons that reach the fluorescent screen in a cathode ray tube A anode B cathod Cdeflecting plate D grid?
I am about to take this exam myself, so maybe I can help both of us with this. The choices are: A.) anode B.) cathode C.) deflecting plates D.) grid The answer starts on page 86 of your study guide, titled "Cathode Ray Tubes". In this illustration, current supplied to the heater causes emission of electrons from the cathode. Those electrons pass toward the anodes through an opening in the control grid. The grid limits the number of electrons that can pass through it, and the anodes cause the electrons passing the grid to a point on the fluorescent screen. Also, two deflecting plates are placed in the path of the beam electrons. When a voltage is applied to these plates, the beam is deflected toward the positively charged plates. If the applied voltage is alternating, the beam moves up and down through its normal central position, and the luminous spot moves on the screen in the same way. Based on this information I have deduced thus... The answer is not A.) anode. Because the anodes job is to pass the electrons the grid allowed through to the point on the fluorescent screen. The answer is not B.) cathode. Because the cathode when heated causes emission of electrons, its purpose is not to limit the number of electrons, just to produce the electrons. The answer is not C.) deflecting plates. Because their job is to use the emitted electrons allowed through the grid to make the projection. So, the answer must be D.) Grid. Because the grid limits the number of electrons that can pass through it! Like I said, I have not taken this exam myself. However, based on the reading material, D just makes sense!
What purpose do coordinates serve on a grid?
The purpose is the toilet.
The saturation condition of a triode occurs when the plate is at high voltage values and the grid with respect to the cathode is?
Highly positive
What were the two main problems of using vacuum tubes in computers?
Valves, or vacuum tubes, were large, generated tremendous heat, and were prone to failure.Vacuum tubes worked much like transistors, but required a filament to heat the cathode so that electrons could flow through the plate when there were the proper grid voltages for that. If the cathode heater burned out, the cathode would not work, and the tube would need to be replaced. Comparing to a PNP or NPN transistor, the cathode would be equivalent to the emitter, the plate would compare to the base, and the grid would computer to the collector. Comparing to an FET, the cathode would be the source, the grid would compare the the gate, and the plate would compare to the drain.
What is the purpose of a grid PC?
The purpose of a grid PC is to view information faster and keep things easier and more organized. Grid computing is also more cost efficient and boosts productivity.
The grid in a high-vacuum triode is usually kept negatively charged with respect to the cathode so that the electrons may be?
A grid in a high-vacuum triode is usually kept negatively charged with respect to the cathode so that the electrons may be passed through to the anode, but controlled by changes in grid voltage. The triode accomplishes this by amplifying signals applied.
What are the functions of each of the 5 grids of a Pentagrid Converter tube starting at the grid closest to the cathode in its use in a Superheterodyne Radio?
There are three varieties of pentagrids. Initial type - 6A7 type (converter). Grid 1 - oscillator grid, Grid 2 - oscillator anode, Grid 3 - screen grid, Grid 4 - signal grid, Grid 5 - screen grid. Development - 6SA7/1R5 type (converter). Grid 1 - oscillator grid, Grid 2 - screen grid, Grid 3 - signal grid, Grid 4 - screen grid, Grid 5 - suppressor grid. Development - 6L7 (mixer). Grid 1 - signal grid, Grid 2 - screen grid, Grid 3 - oscillator injection grid, Grid 4 - screen grid, Grid 5 - suppressor grid.
