TEXT
1. A diode is a two-element electron tube that consists of a cathode and an anode or plate acting as an electron col lector. By applying a positive voltage to the plate of a diode, an electric field is established between cathode and plate that attracts electrons emitted from the cathode to the plate.
2. Plate current is the flow of electrons from cathode to the plate and their return to the cathode through the external circuit. Plate current flows in a diode when the plate is made positive with respect to the cathode. No current flows when the plate is negative with respect to the cathode. This is called unidirectional conduction.
3. The cloud of electrons formed in the space between ca thode and the plate is called space charge. The space charge is negative and hence has a repelling effect on electrons emit ted from the cathode. The amount of the plate current de pends on the space charge and the relative strength of the electric field set up (создаваемого) by the positive plate voltage.
4. At low plate voltages the negative space charge limits the flow of electrons and the plate current is completely con trolled by the plate voltage and is independent of cathode temperature. The plate current is space-charge limited. At high plate voltages the space charge is drawn off (исчезает) and the plate current reaches saturation at a value equal to the total emission current. It is then independent of the plate voltage and is said to be emission-limited for a specific cathode temperature. As the diode tube permits the flow of
current in one direction only it is often used as a rectifier to change alternating current to direct current.
