Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The exposure switch is a two-position device used to initiate exposure.

Answer: A
 The autotransformer is responsible for selecting the kilovoltage (kV) and adjusting the incoming voltage to the appropriate level.

Answer: B
 The rotor stator is a component found in a three-phase power supply that regulates the incoming voltage and frequency to ensure smooth, steady power to the x-ray tube.

Answer: C
 Filament current refers to the amount of electrical current sent through the filament of the x-ray tube to heat it up before exposure.

Answer: D
 Three-phase power is the most common power supply for x-ray units, providing a more consistent and efficient flow of electricity.

Answer: E
 Single-phase power is an alternative power supply for small, portable x-ray units.

Answer: F
 AEC, or automatic exposure control, is a system that automatically adjusts the exposure time and/or machine settings based on the thickness and density of the body part being imaged.

Answer: H
 The rectification circuit is responsible for converting incoming alternating current (AC) to direct current (DC) for use in the x-ray tube.
