Insulation of the high-voltage components of the tube and absorption of the heat produced by x-ray production is achieved through the use of

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Dielectric oil is commonly used for insulation and heat absorption in high-voltage components of x-ray tubes. It has high dielectric strength and thermal conductivity, which helps to prevent breakdown of the components and dissipate heat. A vacuum is used to evacuate the air from the tube, but it does not provide insulation or thermal management. A small fan or stator may be used for cooling, but they do not provide insulation.
