    Hi, By descriptive paragraphs, do you mean actual paragraphs you can memorise? I don’t know if my opinion means anything to you, but I would really advice against learning paragraphs to fit into your essays. It shows that you’ve simply memorised vocabulary, which doesn’t earn you any brownie...

    A Cathode Ray Oscillioscope (CRO) is essentially used to show how voltage varies with time. When the metal filament in the electron gun is heated, the electrons gain energy to escape their valance shells and move from the cathode towards the anode. This is known as thermionic emission. The...
