anode-to-cathode voltage
1Anode — An anode is an electrode through which electric current flows into a polarized electrical device. Mnemonic: ACID (Anode Current Into Device). Electrons flow in the opposite direction to the positive electric current.A widespread misconception is… …
2Cathode — Diagram of a copper cathode in a galvanic cell (e.g., a battery). A positive current i flows out of the cathode (CCD mnemonic: Cathode Current Departs). A cathode is an electrode through which electric current flows out of a polarized electrical… …
3Cathode ray — Cathode rays (also called an electron beam or e beam) are streams of electrons observed in vacuum tubes, i.e. evacuated glass tubes that are equipped with at least two electrodes, a cathode (negative electrode) and an anode (positive electrode)… …
4Cathode heater — A cathode heater is a filament used to heat the cathode in a vacuum tube or cathode ray tube. Before transistors and integrated circuits came into widespread use, electronic devices used vacuum tubes. The cathode element had to achieve the… …
5Cathode ray tube — Cutaway rendering of a color CRT: 1. Three Electron guns (for red, green, and blue phosphor dots) 2. Electron beams 3. Focusing coils 4. Deflection coils 5. Anode connection 6. Mask for separating beams for red,… …
6cathode-ray tube — noun a vacuum tube in which a hot cathode emits a beam of electrons that pass through a high voltage anode and are focused or deflected before hitting a phosphorescent screen • Syn: ↑CRT • Hypernyms: ↑gas discharge tube • Hyponyms: ↑Crookes tube …
7cathode-raytube — cath·ode ray tube (kăthʹōd rā ) Precision Graphics n. Abbr. CRT A vacuum tube in which a hot cathode emits electrons that are accelerated as a beam through a relatively high voltage anode, further focused or deflected electrostatically or… …
8Hollow cathode lamp — A hollow cathode lamp (HCL) is type of lamp used in physics and chemistry as a spectral line source and as a frequency tuner for light sources such as lasers.An HCL usually consists of a glass tube containing a cathode, an anode, and a buffer gas …
9Tripler (voltage multiplier) — A tripler is device used to multiply an ac voltage by 3. It is constructed from a chain of diodes and capacitors.A tripler is the most popular type of voltage multiplier, with multipliers able to multiply to various ratios of input voltage. These …
10Cold cathode — This article is about light sources and indicators. For cold cathode ion sources, see Ion source. CCFL redirects here. For other uses, see CCFL (disambiguation). Cold cathode fluorescent lamp A cold cathode is a cathode used within nixie tubes,… …
