-located between incoming line and exposure switch; determines kVp

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The autotransformer is located between the incoming line and exposure switch and is responsible for determining kVp.

Answer: H
 The rectification circuit converts AC power to DC power for use within the x-ray circuit.

Answer: G
 The exposure switch is typically located on the control panel of the x-ray machine and is used to initiate the exposure.

Answer: E
 Single-phase power is used in some x-ray circuits and typically results in a lower power output compared to three-phase power.

Answer: F
 AEC stands for Automatic Exposure Control and is a system that automatically adjusts exposure parameters during a radiographic exam based on the detected attenuation of the x-ray beam.

Answer: C
 Filament current is responsible for heating the x-ray tube filament to the point where it produces electrons for the x-ray production process.

Answer: B
 The rotor stator is a component of a three-phase generator and is responsible for generating the rotating magnetic fields necessary for the generation of three-phase power.
