Question
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.

Answer

More electrons are emitted
