A diode is a semiconductor device with two terminals. It conducts current only in one direction and restricts the flow in the opposite direction. It is mainly used as a switch.
The triode is a three-terminal device made using metallic filaments. It is used as amplifiers for both audio and radio signals.

- If the temperature of the filament is doubled, then the thermionic current will nearly be four times
- At a definite grid voltage, the plate current varies with plate voltage according to Ohm’s law
Answer: (c) If the temperature of the filament is doubled, then the thermionic current will nearly be four times
