MCQ
A graph of vacuum diode current $I_p$, is plotted against the anode voltage $V_p$ for two different temperatures $T_1$ and $T_2$ of the cathode, as shown in the figure below. Study the graph and answer the following questions.
For the same anode voltage, $($called plate voltage$)$, the current more when the cathode temperature changes from $T_1$ to $T_2$ higher temperature. 
  • A
    More number of electron undergo collision
  • More electrons are emitted
  • C
    Resistance increases
  • D
    Voltage increases

Answer

Correct option: B.
More electrons are emitted
