Which of the following occurs last during x-ray production?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Kilovoltage application to the anode and cathode occurs last in the sequence of events for x-ray production. Initially, the AC is converted to DC to ensure a steady flow of electrons. The rotor then starts turning to prepare the anode for the incoming electrons. Thermionic emission follows, where electrons are boiled off the cathode filament. Finally, the kilovoltage is applied across the anode and cathode to accelerate the electrons towards the anode, producing x-rays.
