Trending Questions
Q.
Some important modifications were made to the Crooke's tube to make it a more efficient x ray source. Why was the coolant added to the anode plate?
Most of the kinetic energy of the electrons get converted into heat upon falling on the anode plate, turning it very hot.
The anode plate will radiate x rays more vigorously when the surface is cold
The liquid in the coolant increases the conductivity in the external circuit
- None of the reasons stated here

- 1.0 A∘
- 2.0 A∘
