@radiation500 Normally at low voltages you would need to heat up the kathode so electrons can be released easier. At high voltage in a tube thats not neccesary
no the high voltage shot of electrons stops so abruptly when they hit the target that it causes the target (a) to heat up. when the x-rays are produced only 2% of what happens in the diagram become x-radiation, the other 98% of the electrons dissipate and give off heat. hope this helps
Shouldn't the hot element be the source (emitter) of the electrons, rather than the receiver as shown in this video? Or is this a different design? Thanks for any info you guys can give.
cool animation... did you create this?
