A vacuum tube, an electron tube, valve (British usage) or tube (North America), is a device that controls electric current flow in a high vacuum between electrodes to which an electric potential difference has been applied.
The type known as a thermionic tube or thermionic valve uses the phenomenon of thermionic emission of electrons from a hot cathode and is used for a number of fundamental electronic functions such as signal amplification and current rectification. Non-thermionic types, such as a vacuum phototube however, achieve electron emission through the photoelectric effect, and are used for such purposes as the detection of light intensities. In both types, the electrons are accelerated from the cathode to the anode by the electric field in the tube.
The simplest vacuum tube, the diode, invented in 1904 by John Ambrose Fleming, contains only a heated electron-emitting cathode and an anode. Electrons can only flow in one direction through the device—from the cathode to the anode. Adding one or more control grids within the tube allows the current between the cathode and anode to be controlled by the voltage on the grids.These devices became a key component of electronic circuits for the first half of the twentieth century. They were crucial to the development of radio, television, radar, sound recording and reproduction, long-distance telephone networks, and analog and early digital computers. Although some applications had used earlier technologies such as the spark gap transmitter for radio or mechanical computers for computing, it was the invention of the thermionic vacuum tube that made these technologies widespread and practical, and created the discipline of electronics.In the 1940s, the invention of semiconductor devices made it possible to produce solid-state devices, which are smaller, more efficient, reliable, durable, safer, and more economical than thermionic tubes. Beginning in the mid-1960s, thermionic tubes were being replaced by the transistor. However, the cathode-ray tube (CRT) remained the basis for television monitors and oscilloscopes until the early 21st century. Thermionic tubes are still used in some applications, such as the magnetron used in microwave ovens, certain high-frequency amplifiers, and amplifiers that audio enthusiasts prefer for their "warmer" tube sound.
Not all electronic circuit valves/electron tubes are vacuum tubes. Gas-filled tubes are similar devices, but containing a gas, typically at low pressure, which exploit phenomena related to electric discharge in gases, usually without a heater.
Kasoro ya kuzaliwa ni mabadiliko ya kimuundo ambayo yapo wakati wa kuzaliwa yanaweza kuathiri ukuaji na utendaji wa mtoto. Kwenye nchi yetu uchunguzi uliyofanyika mwaka 2015 kwenye Hospital ya Ifakara, Ilionesha kuwa Watoto wanaozaliwa na kasoro ni 5.6 % kubwa kuliko wastani wa Dunia nzima ambao...
Nahitaji simu ya kawaida kabisa bajeti yangu laki na 30.
Kikubwa iwe ina uwezo wa kutoa audio inayo sikika vizuri. Iwe Type C ambayo inaweza kutumia vile vi microphone vya sh elfu 25.
Nakumbuka mwaka 2017 nilinunua kisimu cha promotion pale Mlimani City cha VODAFONE. Nilikinunua sh elfu...
habari zenu
kifupi nimekutana na msala huu.
Katika kukagua gari nkakuta stable au kipaja cha diff ya canter nati ishachomelewa kwa hio beringi ikiungua au kuharibika huwezi kuibadili.
Katika kutafuta ufumbuzi wakaniambia huwa kinabadilishwa hicho kiande cha diff yaani kipaja.
Ila wasiwasi...
Mimi sio mtu wa dini, nimeshangaa leo na renew you tube premium membership yangu naletewa suggestions za nyimbo za dini wakati sijawahi kuzitafta kwenye huo mtandao hata siku moja.
Mbaya zaidi you tube wameniletea ngoma za zamani za kina malebo, kina kijitonyama choir nk za enzi zile naelekea...
Siku mbili tangu akaunti ya YouTube ya Diamond Platnumz iliporipotiwa kudukuliwa, akaunti hiyo imeondolewa na YouTube wenyewe kwa kilichoandikwa kuwa mtumiaji amekiuka masharti ya mtandao huo.
Inadaiwa kuwa baada ya kudukuliwa uongozi wa msanii huyo wa Bongo Fleva ulifanikiwa kuirejesha...
Tangu nikiwa mdogo napenda sana comedy za Kenya nakumbuka nilikuwa naenda library huko Arusha kukodisha tape za Vitimbi kina masakuu wali zo dub KBC
Hapa katikati nikawa mshabiki mkubwa wa churchil show na Eric Omondi ila last week nimekuja kumjua jamaa anaitwa Terrence creative aisee hands up...
Mada hapo juu inaeleweka vizuri.
Kuna habari zmezagaa mitandaoni kuwa Rais John Magufuli kauliwa na watu wakubwa na walianza kufanya mipango siku nyingi. Habari hizi zipo pia vijiweni.
Rais Samia Suluhu kwa makosa makubwa Sana na bila kujua kakosea alizungumzia habari hizi akilihutubia Bunge...
