Question
The plate current in a triode value is maximum when the potential of the grid is ______________ .
Options
positive
zero
negative
non-positive
Solution
positive
If the grid voltage is made positive, it will help the electrons move towards the anode, which will help in increasing the current. Thus, the plate current in the triode value is maximum when the potential of the grid is positive.
