🔍 Key Concepts

• Electron flow in a tetrode: how electrons move from cathode (filament) to plate and screen grid • Cathode/filament current vs. individual electrode currents: what the total current leaving the cathode equals • Circuit connection point: what current passes through a meter placed between the filament transformer center tap and negative high voltage

💭 Think About

• In a tetrode, which elements actually draw current from the cathode, and which one draws almost none under normal operation? • If all electrons leaving the cathode must return to the power supply, through what single point do they all pass when the filament center tap is the return? • Does the meter location let it see only one electrode’s current, or the sum of multiple electrode currents returning to the negative supply?

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which electrode currents (plate, screen grid, control grid) originate at the filament/cathode in normal operation • Trace the return path for plate and screen grid currents back to the negative high voltage when the center tap is the common return • Confirm whether the milliammeter is in series with the cathode/filament return, and what that implies about which currents it must measure
