IEM Reviewer 7

- as electrons travel from the filament and hits the anode the Law of Conservation of energy is applied

• True
• False

- energy cannot be created nor destroyed , but can be transformed from one form into another

• Conservation of Energy
• Electromagnetic Induction
• Vaporization of Tungsten
• Pitting of the anode surface

conducts the electricity from the cathode

• Anode
• Cathode
• Target
• Hit

the area of the anode struck by electrons

• Target
• Anode
• Cathode
• Hit

explained in Faraday’s Law, a conductor placed in a changing magnetic field causes the production of a voltage across the conductor.

• Electromagnetic Induction
• Vaporization of Tungsten
• Pitting of the anode surface
• Off-focus Radiation

States that angling target makes the effective target area much smaller than the actual area of electron interaction.

• Line-Focus Principle
• Electromagnetic Induction
• Vaporization of Tungsten
• Pitting of the anode surface

Are of the target where the electron beam impinges (actual FS), where x-rays are emitted (effective FS) ; the actual x-ray source

• Focal Spot
• Target
• Anode
• Cathode

The angle between the target and the central beam

• Target (Anode) Angulation
• Focal Spot
• Anode
• Central Ray

All are common anode materials except:

• Uranium
• Copper
• Molybdenum
• Graphite

the shape of the focal spot characterized as a double banana shape.

• Circular (Round) Focal Spot
• Conservation of Energy
• Target
• Anode
