Abstract
From well-known formulas for space-current in diodes and for amplification factor in triodes, interelectrode capacitance, plate current, and potential distribution in triodes and multigrid tubes are determined through use of the concept of planes of equivalent potential. By the same means, amplification factor in multigrid tubes is derived.
