Accelerated Christian Edu. PACE 1120, for CRT's, IC's, and transistors.
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| The CRT screen is coated with what? | The inside of the CRT screen is coated with rows of tiny, phosphorescent dots. |
| Describe a modern CRT. | The modern CRT is a specialized vacuum tube that's narrow at one end and flares into a wide screen at the other end. |
| What does the narrow end of the CRT contain? | The narrow end of the CRT contains an electron gun which emits a narrow beam of high-speed electrons. |
| What components are inside the electron gun? | Inside the electron gun is a cathode, a control grid, and two anodes. |
| The advantages of transistors over vacuum tubes are what? | They don't require a warm-up period, are less expensive, do not burn out, and are smaller. |
| How many regions of semiconductor material does a transistor contain? | Three regions. |
| In field-effect transistors, what controls current? | Voltage applied to the gate controls current. |
| In junction transistors, what controls output current? | Current controls output current. |
| Why are IC's easily mass-produced? | IC's are easily mass-produced because they are less expensive than similar circuits using larger solid-state components. |
