    A change of 0.8 mA in the anode current of a triode occurs when the anode potential is changed by 10 V. If m = 8 for the triode, then what change in the grid voltage would be required to produce a change of 4 mA in the anode current

    A)            6.25 V                                      

    B)            0.16 V

    C)            15.2 V                                      

    D)            None of these

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

                       The first data gives value of plate resistance \[{{r}_{p}}=\frac{\Delta {{V}_{p}}}{\Delta {{i}_{p}}}=\frac{10}{0.8\times {{10}^{-3}}}=\frac{{{10}^{5}}}{8}\Omega \] Also \[{{g}_{m}}=\frac{\Delta {{i}_{p}}}{\Delta {{V}_{g}}}\] and \[{{g}_{m}}=\frac{\mu }{{{r}_{p}}}\] Þ \[\Delta {{V}_{g}}=\frac{\Delta {{i}_{p}}\times {{r}_{p}}}{\mu }=\frac{4\times {{10}^{-3}}\times {{10}^{5}}/8}{8}=6.25\,V\]
