1-24. An electron tube is operated at 300 volts
and a plate current of 60 milliamperes.
To avoid being damaged, the tube must
have what minimum plate dissipation
rating?
1. 5000 watts
2.
18 watts
3.
5 watts
4.
0.18 watt
1-25. Under which of the following conditions
can a tube be considered operating
beyond its peak inverse voltage rating?
1. When the plates glow cherry red
2. When current flows from the plate
to the cathode
3. When current flows from the
cathode in the form of an arc
4. When current flows from the
cathode to the plate and damage
occurs
1-26. Why does control grid voltage of a
triode exercise greater control than plate
voltage over conduction of the tube?
1. The grid is operated at a higher
voltage than the plate
2. The grid adds electrons to the
electron stream
3. The grid is closer to the plate than
the cathode
4. The grid is closer to the cathode
than the plate
1-27. The plate load resistor in an electron-
tube circuit performs what function?
1. It converts variations in plate
voltage to current variations
2. It limits the amount of plate voltage
that can be applied to the tube
3. It converts variations in plate
current to variations in plate voltage
4. It limits the amount of plate current
that can flow through the tube
