Question
Answer
show An electromagnetic device changing AC from low voltage to high votage, and vice versa, with loss of an appreciable amount of energy.  
🗑
Which current does a transformer work with (AC or DC)?   show
🗑
show The emf induced in secondary coil is to the emf in the primary coil, as the number of turns in the secondary coil is to the number of turns in the primary coil.  
🗑
Name the 4 types of transformers.   show
🗑
show Consists simply of 2 insulated coils lying side by side.  
🗑
show Has iron core inserted into coil of wire; more efficient than the air core.  
🗑
Define closed core.   show
🗑
show Must be heavily insulated; most advanced and efficient transformer.  
🗑
show The power lost by transformers to heat; usually 5%.  
🗑
show Copper, Eddy Current and Hysteresis.  
🗑
Define copper loss.   show
🗑
Define eddy current loss.   show
🗑
show Loss occurring as a result of changing magnetic fields by the AC in the windings. Reduced by laminated silicon steel core.  
🗑
Define autotransformer.   show
🗑
What device serves indirectly as the kV selector?   show
🗑
show Choke coil, rheostat and high frequency (HF) circuit.  
🗑
Which method of filament current control is old?   show
🗑
Which method of filament current control is new?   show
🗑
Define choke coil.   show
🗑
show Variable resistor designed to regulate filament current.  
🗑
show Secondary voltage = Primary Voltage (x) # of Secondary Turns / # of Primary Turns  
🗑
Define the formula for calculating secondary current using primary current, #primary turns and #secondary turns   show
🗑
show Secondary Voltage = Primary Voltage (x) # of Tapped Turns / Total # of Turns  
🗑
What are the 2 circuits found in an x-ray tube?   show
🗑
Define step-down transformer.   show
🗑
show When 2nd coil has more turns than 1st coil, and puts out a HIGHER voltage than supplied to it.  
🗑
What is another name for transformer?   show
🗑
What is the difference between the primary coil and secondary coil?   show
🗑
show 1st coil (primary)  
🗑
Which coil (1st or 2nd) is the output side of the transformer?   show
🗑
Define the Law of Conservation of Energy.   show
🗑
show Closed core transformer  
🗑
show Shell-type transformer  
🗑
show The choke coil  
🗑
show 3-phase power supply  
🗑
What concept does a transformer work off of?   show
🗑
show AC  
🗑
show Self induction  
🗑
What is another name for the rheostat?   show
🗑
Define mutual induction.   show
🗑
How does a transformer change the intensity of alternating voltage and current?   show
🗑
show AC  
🗑
Tapping windings of the auto transformer to supply voltage to the step-up transformer is the purpose of what device?   show
🗑
show Lamination  
🗑
show Autotransformer  
🗑
show Decreases  
🗑
What device would be used when the milliamperage is set on the control panel?   show
🗑
What effect does adjusting the filament control have on the production of x-rays?   show
🗑
show Alternating current  
🗑
