Detailed explanation-1: -The computers of first generation used vacuum tubes as the basic components for memory and circuitry for CPU (Central Processing Unit).
Detailed explanation-2: -The ENIAC. The Electronic Numerical Integrator and Computer, also known as the ENIAC, was the first computer that would use the vacuum tube.
Detailed explanation-3: -Vacuum tube technology was used in first-generation computers. First-generation computers have both advantages and disadvantages. Although these computers were huge, produced heat, required a cooling system, consumed a lot of electricity, they helped start the era of computing technology.
Detailed explanation-4: -1904: British engineer John Ambrose Fleming invents and patents the thermionic valve, the first vacuum tube. With this advance, the age of modern wireless electronics is born.
Detailed explanation-5: -The most widely used mechanism in vacuum tubes is thermionic emission, or electron emission by application of heat. The amount of energy needed to release electrons from a given material is known as its electronic work function.
