Answer: A
 An autotransformer is used to adjust the voltage supplied to the x-ray tube and is essential for successful operation of a modern x-ray machine.

Answer: B
 A rotor stator is a component of the induction motor that powers the anode rotation of the x-ray tube.

Answer: C
 Filament current is the electrical current that flows through the filament of the x-ray tube, producing thermionic emission.

Answer: H
 The rectification circuit is responsible for converting the AC power supplied to the x-ray machine into DC power that is used by the x-ray tube.

Answer: G
 The exposure switch is a button or foot pedal that is used to initiate the x-ray exposure.

Answer: F
 AEC (Automatic Exposure Control) is a system that uses ionization chambers to monitor the radiation exposure and automatically terminates the exposure when a predetermined level of radiation has been delivered to the image receptor.
