  1. thermionic vacuum tube

    A thermionic vacuum tube, also known as an electron tube, is a device that controls electric current flow in a high vacuum between electrodes to which an electric potential has been applied. It includes components like the filament or cathode (which emits electrons), and the anode or plate (which collects the electrons), and often a control grid for modulating the electron flow. These tubes have been widely used as the basic components of electronics such as televisions, radios, and computers before the advent of newer technologies like the transistor. The process involving the emission of electrons from the heated cathode is known as thermionic emission.
