Electrons in an x-ray tube are accelerated through 144 kV and directed toward a target to produce x-rays. Calculate the power of the electron beam in this tube if it has a current of 16.0 mA

Power of the electron beam in the x-ray tube is 2304 W

Explanation:

Given;

voltage of the electron beam in the x-ray tube, V =  144 kV = 144 x 10³ V

current of the electron beam in the x-ray tube, I = 16.0 mA = 16 x 10⁻³ A

Power is given as the product of voltage and current in a circuit.

Power of the electron beam in the x-ray tube, P = V x I

Power of the electron beam in the x-ray tube, P = 144 x 10³ V x 16 x 10⁻³ A

P = 2304 W

Therefore, power of the electron beam in the x-ray tube is 2304 W

molecules are free to separate from each other and will take on the shape of the container. molecules move completely at random and high speeds. they vibrate in a fixed position and do not move around much. molecules expand to the edge of their container.

the components of a vector are the parts of the vectors that are to each other.
