Reabsorbed? By what process?
The heated cathode, boiling off electrons in a vacuum, is also reabsorbing
them, you say? What percentage of emitted electrons would you say are
reabsorbed, thus reducing both the anode current and available electrons in
the g-k space cloud? I don't think I've heard of this before ...
