Question

Which of the following components supply electrical power to the x-ray tube?

1. x-ray transformer
2. x-ray generator
3. kVp meter
4. mA meter

Answer 1

The x-ray transformer and the x-ray generator supply electrical power to the x-ray tube.

Step-by-step explanation:

The components that supply electrical power to the x-ray tube are the x-ray transformer and the x-ray generator.

1. The x-ray transformer is responsible for increasing the voltage from the power source to the high voltage needed to accelerate the electrons in the tube.
2. The x-ray generator produces the necessary electrical current for the x-ray tube to function and generate x-rays.

The kVp meter and mA meter are used to monitor the voltage and current respectively, but they do not supply electrical power to the x-ray tube.
