Question
The plate current in a triode valve is zero. The temperature of the filament is high. It is possible that ____________ .
(a) Vg > 0, Vp > 0
(b) Vg > 0, Vp < 0
(c) Vg < 0, Vp > 0
(d) Vg < 0, Vp < 0

Solution
(b) Vg > 0, Vp < 0
(c) Vg < 0, Vp > 0
(d) Vg < 0, Vp < 0
If the temperature of the filament is high, then it will emit electrons. Other conditions for the plate current in the diode are:
(1) Positive grid voltage, Vg
(2) Positive plate voltage, VP
If any of the above conditions is not satisfied, then plate current in a triode will be zero.
