X-rays are produced due to sudden deceleration of fast-moving electrons when they collide and interact with the target anode. In this process of deceleration, more than 99% of the electron energy is converted into heat and less than 1% of energy is converted into x-rays. DefinitionsGeneratorAn x-ray generator gives power to the x-ray tube. It contains high voltage transformers, filament transformers and rectifier circuits. CathodeThe cathode is the negative terminal of an x-ray tube.
