Which of the following would affect the production of a thermionic cloud? | filament diameter, length, and temperature |
A filament may break due to | vaporization |
Driving the thermionic cloud from the cathode to the anode requires | a large potential difference |
The focusing cup has a/an ____ charge | negative |
X ray photon production occurs at the | anode |
Tungsten is the metal of choice for the source of x ray photons because of its | high atomic number |

Melting of the anode commonly occurs | when the stator fails and the rotor ceases to turn |
The exact point in the x ray unit where photons are created is | focal spot |
The physical area of the focal tract affected by the electron beam is the | actual focal spot |
The area of the focal spot that is projected out of the tube toward the object being radiographed is the | effected focal spot |
The actual focal spot is controlled by the | length of the filament |
