Vacuum tube (valve) electronic devicesSemiconductor electronic devices
$(1)$ Devices made from vacuum tubes are bulky and stationary.$(1)$ Devices made from semiconductors are compact and portable.
$(2)$ These devices require high operating voltage (about $90 \ V$ to $100 \ V$ or more),making them less power-efficient and more expensive.$(2)$ These devices require low operating voltage (about $1.5 \ V$ to $9.0 \ V$),making them power-efficient and cost-effective.
$(3)$ They use fragile glass envelopes,making them prone to damage,resulting in a shorter lifespan and lower reliability.$(3)$ They are solid-state devices,making them robust,durable,and highly reliable with a long lifespan.
$(4)$ They require heating of a filament to emit electrons (thermionic emission) and high voltages to control electron flow.$(4)$ They do not require filament heating; charge carriers are available at room temperature,and electron flow is controlled by small voltages.
$(5)$ Historically used in television and computer monitors (e.g.,Cathode Ray Tubes).$(5)$ Modern devices use Liquid Crystal Displays $(LCD)$ or Light Emitting Diodes $(LED)$.

The unit of mutual conductance of a triode valve is

In the circuit of a triode valve,there is no change in the plate current when the plate potential is increased from $200 \ V$ to $220 \ V$ and the grid potential is decreased from $-0.5 \ V$ to $-1.3 \ V$. The amplification factor of this valve is

In a triode amplifier,the value of maximum gain is equal to

For a triode, ${r_p} = 10 \text{ k}\Omega$ and ${g_m} = 3 \text{ m}\mho$. If the load resistance is double the plate resistance, then the value of the voltage gain will be:

The amplification factor of a triode is $10$. When the plate potential is $200 \, V$ and the grid potential is $-4 \, V$,a plate current of $4 \, mA$ is observed. If the plate potential is changed to $160 \, V$ and the grid potential is kept at $-7 \, V$,then the plate current will be.....$mA$.
