X-Ray Tube Anode

• What type of charge does the anode have in an x-ray tube?

  Positive
• The stationary anode is primarily used in general-purpose radiography.

  False
• Arrange the features of the anode and cathode in the correct order:

  1️⃣ Charge: Positive (+) for anode, Negative (-) for cathode

  2️⃣ Position: Left for anode, Right for cathode
• What type of anode is used in general-purpose radiography?

  Rotating
• The anode acts as an electrical insulator in the x-ray tube.

  False
• What is one of the mechanical support roles of the anode?

  Holds the tungsten target
• The base of the anode is made of tungsten.

  False
• What material is used for the target of the anode?

  Tungsten-rhenium alloy
• Arrange the steps involved in the scientific method in the correct order:

  1️⃣ Observation

  2️⃣ Hypothesis

  3️⃣ Experiment

  4️⃣ Data Analysis

  5️⃣ Conclusion
• What is the typical rotational speed range of a rotating anode in RPM?

  3,000 to 10,000 RPM
• Match the component of the electromagnetic induction motor with its function:

  Stator ↔️ Generates magnetic field

  Rotor ↔️ Spins the anode
