Key Concepts

Plate Resistance

Plate resistance is the internal resistance seen at the plate (or anode) of a vacuum tube amplifier. It influences how the external load affects the overall voltage gain of the amplifier. When a load is connected, the effective voltage gain is limited by the voltage divider formed between the plate resistance and the load resistance, thereby reducing the gain from its ideal amplification factor.

Voltage Divider Effect

The voltage divider effect occurs in amplifier circuits when the intrinsic plate resistance and the external load resistance share the output signal, thereby reducing the voltage gain delivered to the load. This concept explains how the output voltage is divided between the internal resistance and the load resistance, resulting in a gain that is a fraction of the maximum amplification factor.

Amplification Factor

The amplification factor of an amplifier is a property that indicates how much the input signal is amplified by the device. It is defined as the ratio of the change in output voltage to the change in input voltage when internal resistances are not loaded, often denoted by ? in vacuum tubes. This factor represents the maximum theoretical gain achievable by the device before external loading effects are considered.
