Problem 2, 40 points
Principles of small-signal analysis and active
device modeling: To the right is a circuit diagram of
a pentode vacuum tube. Current flows between
cathode and plate under control of the voltage
between the grid and the cathode. Don't worry
about the suppressor and the screen.
The plate current is plotted below as a function of
plate-to-cathode and grid-to-cathode voltage.
Important: the grid current is nearly zero (is
negligible).
