The frequency at which the tube will oscillate will depend on the values of L and 1, while the amplitude of tha oscillator will be determined by the degree of coupling that exists between the two colls L and 1. The grid potential variations Imby pressed across the terminals T-the coll 1 have the same effect In the plate circuit as a potential K (when K Is the amplification factor of the tube) times as great applied directly to the plate circuit. When the plate circuit potential variations are just equal to the potential variations in the tuned circuit, between the points X and Y, and both are Increasing and decreasing together, that Is In phase. the oscillations In the tuned circuit will be sustained or undamped. The amplitude of the oscillations will neither Increase nor decrease. Should the potential variations In the plate circuit be greater than the potential operating In the tuned circuit, between the Doints X and Y. then the oscil lations In the tuned circuit will in crease in amplitude until the tube becomes saturated. At this point the upper and lower bends of the characteristic curve keep the amplitude of the plate circuit oscillations from further increasing as the amplitude of the grid circuit oscillations are e As an oscillator, a vacuum tube has the property of transforming the direct current energy supplied to the plate circuit Into an undamped alternating current of By connectany desired frequency. ing the tube functioning as an oscillator In the proper electrical circuit, alternating currents have been obtained ranging In frequency from one-hacycle per second to 150,000,000 cycles per second. In fact, a vacuum tuba used as an oscillator Is about the only source of undamped alternating current at radio frequency available for the amateur. Undamped or continuous wave telegraphy and radio telephony are made possible only by use of the vacuum tubes. e vacuum When the tube was functioning as an amplifier it was explained just how operating the grid at a midpoint of the characteristic curve caused the plate current to vary synchronously with the grid potential. Not only did the plate current vary synchronously with the grid potential, but If the plate circuit were tuned the potential variation three-electrod- lf three-electrod- SOME TRUTHS ABOUT STATIC it Exists "Gooding Had Eight Thousand Sheep" Gooding had eight thousand sheep.
