Kettering Review-Equipment Operation and QC
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| heating of the filament to the point that electrons boil off its surface | thermionic emission |
| requires 4-6 amps of current | thermionic emission |
| mA settings determine the amt of current that will be sent to the filament | thermionic emission |
| high electrical potential applied to the cathode end of the x-ray tube | acceleration of electrons |
| kV sent to the filament from the step up transformer | acceleration of electrons |
| r-radiation is produced when high speed electrons bombard the target area or anode | acceleration of electrons |
| the focusing cup surrounds the filament and maintains a concentrated stream of electrons from the filament to the target area on the anode | focusing of electrons |
| made of molybdenum or nickel | focusing cup |
