It is used to adjust the tube current. The means that the cathode will have a variable potential difference with the anode and will therefore be able to strip more or less electrons and hence produce a greater or fewer amount of x-rays.

Why should the generator field rheostat be kept to its maximum at starting?

Keeping the generator field rheostat at its maximum at starting helps to establish a strong magnetic field in the generator, which is essential for generating sufficient voltage to initiate the generation process. This ensures a smooth and stable startup of the generator.

Why the generator field rheostat kept at maximum position?

There is nothing to limit current until opposing magnetic fields build up at generator operating speed-windings will overheat and burn.

What is the function of rheostat in this experiment?

A rheostat is the name given to a variable resistor when it is used to control current. When a variable resistor is used to control voltage, we call it a potentiometer.A rheostat is connected in series with a load, and two of its three terminals are used. A potentiometer is connected in parallel with the supply, and each of its three terminals are used.So the terms 'rheostat' and 'potentiometer' are the names given to describe the function of a variable resistor, not the variable resistor itself.
