Question

question 6 / 10
increasing the tube current applied to the x - ray tube results in:
increased electron flow and decreased x - ray quality
increased electron flow and increased x - ray quantity
decreased electron flow and increased x - ray quality
decreased electron flow and decreased x - ray quantity

Explanation:

Tube current in an x - ray tube is related to the number of electrons flowing. Higher tube current means more electrons are flowing. X - ray quantity is proportional to the tube current. X - ray quality is mainly determined by tube voltage, not current. So increasing tube current increases electron flow and x - ray quantity.

Answer:

Increased electron flow and increased x - ray quantity
