bridges on detour road which they
were endeavoring to keep in condi-

battery potential Is applied to the

tanning external resistance, an in
crease In plate current causes a de-
crease In the potential existing be
tween the plate and the l1lament.
The "static" characteristic curve
was drawn on the assumption that
the difference In potential between
the plate and the filament remained
constant. obviously then, when the ex-
ternal plate circuit has other than
zero impedance, the static character
istic curve no longer holds true.
The characteristic curve OF q tube
having other than zero impedance In
the external plate circuit IL the "dy-
manic" characteristic. The greater
the variations In plate current, the
greater the variation In the voltage
existing between the plate and the
filament. II the value Of X. the ex-
ternal plate impedance, Is increased,
the greater will be the variation In
the plate to filament voltage for the
same variation In plate current.

dynamic Characteristic Of tube with

allel to the grid voltage axis a. in
