A triode operates within the linear region of its characteristics. If the plate voltage is subjected to a slight increase, the dynamic plate resistance will

Options

  1. Aincrease
  2. Bdecrease
  3. Cbecome zero
  4. Dremain almost the same

Correct answer

D. remain almost the same

Step-by-step solution

In the linear region of the characteristics of a triode, the plate current IpI_p varies linearly with the plate voltage VpV_p at a constant grid voltage VgV_g.

The dynamic plate resistance is defined as rp=(ΔVpΔIp)Vg=constantr_p = \left( \dfrac{\Delta V_p}{\Delta I_p} \right)_{V_g = \text{constant}}.

Since the graph of IpI_p versus VpV_p is a straight line in the linear region, its slope ΔIpΔVp\dfrac{\Delta I_p}{\Delta V_p} is constant.

Therefore, the dynamic plate resistance rpr_p remains almost the same when the plate voltage is slightly increased.
