Why is a vacuum needed in a vacuum tube?
(N/A) vacuum is required in a vacuum tube to prevent the collision of electrons with air molecules. If air were present,the electrons emitted from the cathode would collide with gas molecules,causing ionization and scattering. This would lead to a decrease in the electron current and could cause electrical discharge or arcing,which would damage the tube and prevent it from functioning as a controlled electronic device.
