Electric circuits increasing electric resistance results in a reduced electric current
Ohms law The way electric current behaves in an electric circuit
Kinetic energy energy of motion
Characteristic radiation -emitted when a outer-shell electron fills an inner-shell void -only k-characteristic x-rays of tungsten are useful for imaging.
