Question
The figure shows two identical triode tubes connected in parallel. The anodes are connected together and the cathodes are connected together. Show that the equivalent plate resistance is half the individual plate resistance, the equivalent mutual conductance is double the

individual mutual conductance and the equivalent amplification factor is the same as the individual amplification factor.
✓

Answer

From the circuit, Cathode of both the triodes are connected to a common point and their anodes are also connected together. Thus, the 2 triodes are connected in parallel.

As plate resistance is obtained by observing the variation of plate voltage with plate current, keeping grid voltage as constant.

Hence equivalent plate resistance,

$\text{R}_\text{p}=\frac{\text{rp}_1\times\text{rp}_2}{\text{rp}_1+\text{rp}_2}$

if both the triodes have equal plate resistance

i.e., $\text{R}_\text{p}=\frac{\text{r}_\text{p}}{2}$

To find the equivalent transconductance.

We need to look at the variation of current with respect to grid voltage, keeping plate voltage as constant.

From the circuit

Now the 2 triodes are in series w.r.t grid voltage.

Hence equivalent transconductance will be equal to

$\text{G}_\text{m}=2\text{g}_\text{m}$

if the 2 triodes have equal trens conductance i.e., $\text{g}_{\text{m}_1}=2\text{g}_{\text{m}_2}=\text{g}_{\text{m}}$

Now the equivalent amplification factor is,

$\mu_{\text{equivalent}}=\text{G}_{\text{m}}\times\text{R}_{\text{p}}$

$\mu_{\text{equivalent}}=2\text{g}_{\text{m}}\times\frac{\text{r}_{\text{p}}}{2}$

$\mu_{\text{equivalent}}=\mu$

Zeroth Law of Thermodynamics states that two systems in thermal equilibrium with a third system separately are in thermal equilibrium with each other. The Zeroth Law clearly suggests that when two systems A and B, are in thermal equilibrium, there must be a physical quantity that has the same value for both. This thermodynamic variable whose value is equal for two systems in thermal equilibrium is called temperature (T). Thus, if A and B are separately in equilibrium with C, TA = TC and TB = TC. This implies that TA = TB i.e. the systems A and B are also in thermal equilibrium. Zeroth Law of Thermodynamics leads to the concept of internal energy of a system. We know that every bulk system consists of a large number of molecules. Internal energy is simply the sum of the kinetic energies and potential energies of these molecules. A certain amount of heat is supplied to the system’ or ‘a certain amount of work was done by the system its energy changes.

The kinetic energy of an object is the energy associated with the object which is under motion. It is defined as "the energy required by a body to accelerate from rest to stated velocity." It is a vector quantity and the momentum of an object is the virtue of its mass. It is defined as the product of mass and velocity. It is a vector quantity. The relation between them is given by $E =\frac{P^2}{2 m}$. In case of the elastic collision both of these quantities remain constant.
