is a grounded metal box filled with oil

a transformer contains:

transformer used for filament circuit

transformer used for the high voltage circuit

consist of two wire coils wrapped around a closed core

the circuit containing the first coil (connected to the available electric energy source) is called the _

the circuit containing the second coil (which comes the modified electric energy) is called the _

when the cathode is negative with respect to the anode, electrons flow at high speed from the _ to the _ and xrays are produced

is the process if changing alternating current into direct current

provides an alternating voltage for the xray tube

used to change the potential difference of the incoming electric energy to the appropriate level

types of rectifier

type of rectifier that are smaller, more reliable, and have a longer life

was the first material used for solid state rectifiers

today, most xray generators use _ rectifiers

a single silicon rectifer (also called _ ) will resist a reverse voltage of about _V, which is 10-20 times higher than a selenium rectifier

silicon rectifiers can withstand a temperature of up to _, considerably higher than selenium at _

is made up of a number of cells, or individual diodes, connected together to form a cylindrical stack that might have dimensions of 20-30 cm long by 20 mm diameter. such rectifier can operate up to 150 kVp and 1000 mA

it would be highly undesirable to have electrons moving from the target to the filament for two reasons:

is a device that allows an electric current to flow in one direction but does not allow current in other direction

are incorporated into the xray circuit in series with the xray tube
