300
The process in which half of the incoming current is changed to pulsating direct current.
What is half-wave rectification?
300
This tube suspension systems offers the greatest multifunction movement.
What is an overhead tube suspension system?
300
This device is locted in between the incoming power line and the step-down transformer.
What is the mA control?
300
The direction of the flow of electrons in the x-ray tube.
What is cathode to anode?
300
A phenomenon by which more and more electrons build up in the area of the filament.
What is the space charge effect?
400
This device is constructed by connecting both the primary and secondary coils in a series instead of insulating them which allows the device to select varying amounts of voltage.
