Chapter 26: Q75P (page 770)

A certain x-ray tube operates at a current of 7.00mAand a potential difference of 80.0kV. What is its power in watts?

Short Answer

Expert verified

The power of an X-ray tube is 560W.

Step by step solution

01

The given data

  1. Potential differenceV=80kVor80×103V
  2. Current, i=7mAor7×10-3A
02

Understanding the concept of the power

The power of an X-ray tube can be calculated by taking the product of the current and potential difference.

Formula:

The equation of power that occurs due to potential difference, P = iV (i)

03

Calculation of the power

Using the given data in equation (i), we can get the power of an X-ray tube as follows:

P=7×10-3×(80×103)=560W

Hence, the value of the power is 560W.
