Milli implies it is 1000 times smaller. Decimals from latin normally imply smaller, greek larger (kilo=1000 times larger)

What does milliamperage settings and exposure time determine?

Milliamperage settings and exposure time determine the amount of radiation delivered to the patient during a radiographic procedure. Milliamperage affects the quantity of X-rays produced, while exposure time determines the duration of exposure. Adjusting these settings correctly helps to obtain diagnostic images while maintaining radiation safety standards.


How do you calculate milliamperage mA when given milliampere seconds and exposure time?

thank you


What happen to image on radiographic density if milliamperage increase?

If milliamperage increases, the radiographic density of the image will also increase. This means that the image will appear darker due to more X-ray photons being produced, resulting in a higher level of exposure on the image receptor.


Does milliamperage settings and exposure time determine the penetrating abilityof radiation produced?

The milliamperage setting and exposure time primarily affect the quantity or amount of radiation produced, not its penetrating ability. Penetrating ability is mainly determined by the kilovoltage setting, with higher kilovoltage resulting in more penetrating radiation.


How do you convert DC Voltage to DC Amperage?

You don't convert DC voltage to DC amperage. You get it automaticly when you have a resistance in your circuit. Scroll down to related links and look at "Ohm's law - Wikipedia".


What is amperage?

Amperage is electric current of flow.


Can you reduce amperage by using thicker wire with a constant voltage?

The amperage flowing through a wire is directly related to the load placed on the circuit, and has nothing to do with wire size, except that a larger wire will carry more amperage. Increasing wire size will not lower amperage but will allow the circuit to carry more amperage if the breaker is also increased in size. No. Ohm's law tells us that V = IR. For a given load, R is constant, and thus the only way to reduce current is to increase voltage.


It is ok to use a fuse with a higher amperage rating and not ok to use a fuse with a smaller amperage rating why?

It is ok to use a fuse with a higher amperage rating and not ok to use a fuse with a smaller amperage rating why?


Can a 30 Amp 125 V plug be replaced with a 250 V plug?

In North America the answer would be no. The pin configurations for voltage and amperage all differ. This is so that an under voltage or under current device can not be used on higher amperage's and voltages.See related links below.


Both Milliamperage mA setting and exposure time determine the?

Both milliamperage (mA) setting and exposure time determine the amount of radiation delivered during an X-ray exposure. mA setting controls the quantity of electrons flowing through the X-ray tube, while exposure time determines the duration of the X-ray production. Adjusting these factors can alter the overall radiation dose received by the patient.


When a circuit is inductive the current has what voltage?

This doesn't make sense, "current" is "amperage" so the higher the voltage the lower the amperage, and the lower the voltage the higher the amperage.


What is the proper amperage to use with 3-16 7018 on 5-8 plate with 45 bevel?

There is no proper amperage...no such thing as amperage, its called current... measured in amps...
