Question

In a radiograph with settings of 24 mAs and 0.5 seconds, what is the current?

a) 12 A
b) 24 A
c) 48 A
d) 96 A

Answer 1

The current in the radiograph is 24 Amperes.

Step-by-step explanation:

The current in a radiograph can be calculated using the formula:

Current (A) = Charge (C) / Time (s)

In the question, the charge is not given, so we need to use the given settings of the radiograph to find the charge. The formula for charge is:

Charge (C) = Current (A) x Time (s)

Using the given settings of 24 mAs (milliampere seconds) and 0.5 seconds:

Charge (C) = 24 mA x 0.5 s = 12 mC (milliCoulombs)

Now, we can calculate the current using the first formula:

Current (A) = 12 mC / 0.5 s = 24 A

Therefore, the current in the radiograph is 24 Amperes.
