Vacuum tubes, also known as thermionic valves or electron tubes, are electronic components that control the flow of electric current in a vacuum. They consist of a sealed glass or metal tube from which most of the air has been removed, creating a vacuum. Inside the tube, there are typically at least two electrodes: a cathode and an anode.
