RAD 231 Unit 2

QuestionAnswer
What is space charge? cloud of electrons that build up around filament; has a definite size for a given value of filament current in given tube
What is the space charge effect? electrons reach a point where the negative charges begin to oppose the emission of additional electrons
What is the space charge compensator? a device located in the filament circuit that automatically adjusts filament current to maintain constant mA over a wide range of kV; lowers filament current as kVp is raised to keep mA constant over the kV range; modern filament stabilizer
*****What happens if no space charge compensator? -Space-charge limited region - increasing kVp drives more electrons to anode (increase mA (tube current)); kVp cannot be independently changed from mA -Saturation current/temp limited region
Name the two additional x-ray tube types *Grid Controlled tube; *Fractional Focus x-ray tube
Describe grid controlled tube. p170 Selman generally found in portables on capacitor discharge unit; has a biased focusing cup (-2kV) acts as a switch to terminate flow of electrons at selected technique
Describe fractional focus x-ray tube S p141; 226-227

Use these flashcards to help memorize information. Look at the large card and try to recall what is on the other side. Then click the card to flip it. If you knew the answer, click the green Know box. Otherwise, click the red Don't know box.

When you've placed seven or more cards in the Don't know box, click "retry" to try those cards again.

If you've accidentally put the card in the wrong box, just click on the card to take it out of the box.

You can also use your keyboard to move the cards as follows:

If you are logged in to your account, this website will remember which cards you know and don't know so that they are in the same box the next time you log in.

When you need a break, try one of the other activities listed below the flashcards like Matching, Snowman, or Hungry Bug. Although it may feel like you're playing a game, your brain is still making more connections with the information to help you out.

To see how well you know the information, try the Quiz or Test activity.
