X Ray Production In X Ray Tube

An x ray generator gives power to the x ray tube.
X ray production in x ray tube. A high voltage electric source provides acceleration of the electrons. An x ray beam is generated by passing an electron beam through a vacuum between a cathode and an anode. X rays are generated in an x ray tube. Electrons therefore are accelerated towards positively charged anode which gives them a certain energy.
Tube voltage is applied across the x ray tube. Please try again later. The tube consists of a cathode side negative electrical charge and an anode side positive electrical charge. The two ends of the x ray tube are connected in the transformer circuit so that the filament end is negative and the target end is positive during an exposure.
The electrons strike the anode and the energy released via interaction with the anode atoms produces x ray photons. In this process of deceleration more than 99 of the electron energy is converted into heat and less than 1 of energy is converted into x rays. 5 3 x ray tubes 5 3 1 components of the x ray tube the production of both bremsstrahlungand characteristic radiationrequires energetic electrons hitting a target principle components of an x ray tube are an electron source from a heated tungsten filament with a focusing cup serving as the tube cathode an anode or target and a. X rays are produced due to sudden deceleration of fast moving electrons when they collide and interact with the target anode.
A large step up transformer supplies the voltage 40 to 125 kvp required for x ray production.
