X has long been used to denote an unknown quality of quantity and when X-rays where first discovered their exact nature and properties were unknown, so the name X (unknown) ray was chosen.

What is x-ray tube voltage?

X-Ray voltage means voltage which is applied across anode & cathode, this is of very high voltage (in KV). This causes a high electric field for the moving of electrons emitted from cathode to anode. One more voltage wrt X-ray tube is filament voltage. Filament voltage with some appropriate current is applied to filament for the emitting of electrons. This current is proportional to the intensity of X-ray radiation generated from the tube. More current through the filament causes permanent damage of filament.


What devices control x-ray tube filament current?

The filament current of an x-ray tube is primarily controlled by a filament transformer, which adjusts the voltage and current supplied to the filament. Additionally, a rheostat or variable resistor may be used to fine-tune the filament current for optimal electron emission. In modern systems, electronic control circuits can also regulate the filament current more precisely, ensuring consistent performance and improved image quality. These devices work together to ensure the correct heating of the filament, enabling effective x-ray production.

Why filament is needed in CRO?

A filament is needed in a Cathode Ray Oscilloscope (CRO) to emit electrons in the cathode-ray tube. The electrons are accelerated towards the screen to create the electron beam, which is then deflected to produce the display. The filament heats up and emits electrons through thermionic emission, contributing to the functioning of the CRO.
