Test 3

[blank_start]kVp[blank_end]: the maximum energy available [blank_start]keV[blank_end]: measure of energy

[blank_start]step-down[blank_end]: if turns in secondary are < turns in primary [blank_start]step-up[blank_end]: if turns in secondary are > turns in primary

Power loss in the form of heat due to resistance happens in copper

Power loss in copper can be minimized by using [blank_start]larger[blank_end] diameter conductor

What are the types of full-wave generation?

[blank_start]N-type material[blank_end]: silicon-arsenic bond [blank_start]P-type material[blank_end]: silicon-gallium bond

The anode is positively charged and cathode is negatively charged

Types of anodes [blank_start]Rotating[blank_end]: Found in general x-ray machines [blank_start]Stationary[blank_end]: Found in dental units

Rotating anodes are made of tungsten encased in solid copper

What slows the pitting and cracking of the anode?

Where can you find the focusing cup?

The source of electrons come from where?

What needs to be warmed to minimize cracking?

What causes arcing and can crack the tube?

As the angle of anode increases, heel effect [blank_start]decreases[blank_end]

Area of the effective focal spot is determined by the angle of the [blank_start]anode[blank_end]

Thermal capacity of the anode is the amount of heat the anode can [blank_start]store[blank_end] as opposed to how much it can [blank_start]bear[blank_end] in one exposure

Using a higher kVp increases heat units (HU)
