noun
- An electrode used in amplifying thermionic valves (vacuum tubes) such as the triode, tetrode and pentode, used to control the flow of electrons from the cathode to the anode. It usually consists of a cylindrical screen or helix of fine wire surrounding the cathode, and is surrounded in turn by the anode.
- an electrode placed between the cathode and anode of a vacuum tube to control the flow of electrons through the tube
noun
- a component of an ignition system; consists of two shaped electrodes and the space between them
- the gap between two high-potential terminals
- A gap, between two electrical terminals, across which sparks are generated.
- Such a gap as a component of an engine's ignition system, especially that between the electrodes of a spark plug.
noun
- An instrument for augmenting a very small quantity of electricity, so as to render it manifest by sparks or the electroscope.

verb
noun
- (electronics) That electrode of a semiconductor device which is connected to the p-type material of a p-n junction.
