Q

Explain a triode tube

A

It’s just like crackers to it has a negative side on the positive side but in the middle is a tube that block some of the negatives from getting over to the positive side and it’s just like a start stop button it’s called in and PN junction controls of the electrons can jump over to the other side this is also Morse code.Dass and in computers 01

2
Q

Silicon

A

a semi conductor because it conducts electricity but not well electrons jump to silicon but they leave a hole where they once were in the electron behind it jumps into that spot but jumps to silicon and leaves a hole and that is why silicon on a semi conductor because it has missing electrons

3

Another name for npn junction

A

Transistor

4
Q

Led

A

CRT?

A

There is a battery leading up to a glass tube and the negative electrons from the negative side all start going towards a target and the electrons that missed the target cause a shadow on the glass called photo chemical code
Cathode Ray Tubes
