English: Diagram of JJ Thomson's experiment with cathode rays. Cathode rays (blue) emitted by the cathode on the left were defelcted by an electric field (yellow) in the center. Cathode rays (blue) emitted by the cathode on the left were defelcted by an electric field (yellow) in the center.
This SVG diagram contains embedded raster graphics. Such images are liable to produce inferior results when scaled to different sizes (as well as possibly being very inefficient in file size). If appropriate to do so, they should be replaced with images created using vector graphics .

When sufficient voltage is applied across the electrodes, the gas ionizes, forming a glow discharge around the cathode electrode. The VR tube then acts as a negative resistance device; as the current through the device increases, the amount of ionization also increases, reducing the resistance of the device to further current flow.
The first commercially made electronic TV sets with cathode-ray tubes were manufactured by Telefunken in Germany in 1934. [32] [33] In 1947, the cathode-ray tube amusement device, the earliest known interactive electronic game as well as the first to incorporate a cathode-ray tube screen, was created. [34]
A beam of cathode rays in a vacuum tube bent into a circle by a magnetic field generated by a Helmholtz coil.Cathode rays are normally invisible; in this demonstration Teltron tube, enough gas has been left in the tube for the gas atoms to luminesce when struck by the fast-moving electrons.
Schematic symbol used in circuit diagrams for a vacuum tube, showing control grid. The control grid is an electrode used in amplifying thermionic valves (vacuum tubes) such as the triode, tetrode and pentode, used to control the flow of electrons from the cathode to the anode (plate) electrode. The control grid usually consists of a cylindrical ...
