Advantages of Vaccum Tubes

What are Vacuum Tubes?

Vacuum tubes are devices that control the flow of electric current in a high vacuum between electrodes to which an electric potential difference has been applied. They were fundamental components in the early development of electronics and were widely used before semiconductor devices like transistors....

History of Vaccum Tubes

The first electron tube is invented by John Ambrose Fleming in the year of 1904,and it is named as Fleming valves. The triode is invented by Lee de Forest it is a development of the ‘Fleming Valve’ in the ear of 1906. IN 20th centuries the vacuum tubes are widely used for electronics and for televisions and video monitors the cathode ray tubes are used. Today chips are used in computer for avoiding of vacuum tubes that makes the advantages of saving cost....
