Question

Most of the energy applied to an x ray tube is converted into

Answer 1

The answer is kinetic energy.

Answer 2

The energy applied to an x-ray tube is converted into heat.

• When fast-moving electrons meet and interact with the target anode, X-rays are created as a result of their sudden slowing.
• More than 99 percent of the electron energy is transformed into heat during this deceleration process, and less than 1% of the energy is turned into x-rays.
