Best Answer

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.

Why is neon gas used in voltage stabilizers?

Neon gas has a break-down voltage of about 70 volts. When the gas (in a neon voltage regulator tube) breaks down, the gas glows red. If more voltage is applied (within sensible limits) the voltage drop across the neon VR tube will still be 70 volts. This action by itself could result in a large current flowing in the gas tube and possibly to destroy it, so a resistor is placed in series with the neon VR tube to limit the current. And this is better for the neon tube as well. THUS a neon voltage regulator tube forms a reference voltage which can be used, with clever circuitry, to regulate any voltage. Other gas mixtures are used for other voltages. There are solid-state devices with similar properties.
