What is inside the envelope of a triode tube?
- ANeon
- BA vacuum
- CArgon
- DAir
Correct answer: B — A vacuum. From the official ISED question bank, verified word for word.
Why
A triode tube works by letting electrons flow freely from a heated filament to a plate, which requires an empty space inside the glass envelope so nothing blocks their path. The full explanation — and one for every question — is in Pro.
