X Ray Production Animation

How are X-rays produced? This animation shows the function of the components of a modern X-ray tube.
• Cathode Filament
• Anode / Target
• High Voltage Supply
• Vacuum Chamber
• Lead Shielding
• Aluminium Filter
There is a free quiz to take on the content covered in this animation. A link to it is shown toward the end of the video (6:35 to be precise). A great way to check you've grasped the main points. Need to go deeper? Buy the textbook - now available on iBooks and Google Play at a great introductory price - find out more: physicshq.wixsite.com/alevelp...
X-ray production is a key concept in radiography, radiology, medical physics and is very helpful in medicine in general.
Relevant concepts: x-rays, x-ray photons, braking radiation, thermionic emission, x-ray spectra, x-ray production, megavoltage rays, medical physics, ionising radiation, and radiation shielding.

    There are already tons of videos on KZread about ohms law and current/voltage. Off the top of my head, Eugene Khutoryanski has some really nice visualizations on current and voltage and a wealth of other stuff on electronics, physics and math. Afrotech mods is another great channel that has a nice playlist with topics on ohms law, voltage, current, and so. I think using both would be good for teaching because Afrotech Mods has the theory and demonstrations, while Eugene Kutryaski takes a more visual approach. But it's your class, so tht's your call. Also there's a circuit simulator called CircuitMod that's been a really great tool for visually and intuitively understanding what's going on in a circuit. It's not as extensive as SPICE, but it's easy to use and runs right in your browser. It would be a really useful teaching tool because you can visually show ohm's law in action and they can see where the current is flowing and what is at what voltage. I hope that helps. Cheers.

    The filament is usually heated by a separate low voltage power supply. It works much like an incandescent light filament. It needs to be heated for electrons to be freely accelerated by the high voltage power supply. The target you depicted is a rotating type. This is used for high flux X-ray tubes. The target is spun by a magnetic driver outside of the vacuum. The purpose of a rotating target is to prevent excessive heating on one single spot of the target, which would cause erosion and pitting of the target.

    Absolutely. Im studying to become an industrial radiographer and despite the assumptions and lack of challenge from my instructors, these sciences have sparked my mind on levels of comprehension i could have never imagined. My determination and yearning for knowledge has consumed my entire being. God has awakened me through a process of deep learning and i humbly thank you for your contributions towards finding my purpose. Ive found that a good teacher is one who can use his ability to reject all assumptions about the students understanding. This has been the main hinderance in my recent studies. Im ashamed to admit but for example, ferrite is anothet word for iron, i did not know this and for 2 classes the teacher failed to mention, only when googling ferrite testing did i find this out. I think it was Einstein who said “if you cant explain it to a 6 year old, you don’t understand it” and he is right. Teaching is all about understanding the students on the most basic of levels. I encourage you to check out the youtube channel “jeff run” and his experiments. They are thoroughly interesting and thought provoking. We have entered a new age of science and we must be open books without secrecy if we are to survive in this life and the next. God bless and thank you again.
