In a triode, cathode, grid and plate are at respectively. The electrons are emitted from the cathode with energy
. The energy of the electron reaching the plate is
There is a loss of kinetic energy of from filament to grid. The energy of the electron after passing through the grid will be
The potential difference between plate and grid is . The electron will gain energy
from the grid to the plate. The energy of electron reaching the plate
Hence option 4 is correct.
