Description
English: Anode characteristic curves of the RCA 24-A tetrode vacuum tube. It shows the plate current (Ib) as a function of plate voltage for different values of control grid voltage (EC2). The lowest curve shows the screen grid current (IC2). This early tetrode illustrates the negative resistance "kink" in the plate current (labeled "values unstable") caused by secondary emission of electrons from the plate, that caused instability and parasitic oscillations in early tetrodes. Modern tetrodes have a coating on the plate which suppresses secondary emission, eliminating the "kink".

If an SVG form of this image is available, please upload it and afterwards replace this template with {{vector version available|new image name}}.


It is recommended to name the SVG file “RCA 24-A Screen Grid tube anode characteristics.svg”—then the template Vector version available (or Vva) does not need the new image name parameter.
