Comment on How Tube Amplifiers Workparent

Comments

If I understand them correctly, Ebers-Moll equations are based on the exponential relationship between voltage and current in a BJT.

But tubes aren't current amplifiers, they're voltage amplifiers, like FETs.

You can look at the "characteristics curves" of tubes (plate curves and transconductance curves), which tell the story of current against plate-to-cathode voltages for fixed grid voltages.
