The speed with which the electrons travel from the filament of cathode to the anode depends upon
Correct Answer: Potential difference between the two electrodes
Description: The primary functions of the power supply of an X-ray machine are to:
Provide a low-voltage current to heat the X-ray tube filament.
Generate a high potential difference to accelerate electrons from the cathode to the focal spot on the anode. The X-ray tube and two transformers lie within an electrically grounded metal housing called the head of the X-ray machine.
