Question

The anode in X-ray set up is connected with coolant because -

• A. coolant makes the stream of electrons to travel in the straight path.
• B. coolant lowers the temperature of target material.
• C. coolant provides more energy to electrons.
• D. None of these

Answer 1

The correct option is B coolant lowers the temperature of target material.

The target material is connected as anode in X-ray set up.

After continuos collisions of electrons with target material, the target material heat up.

To lower down its temperature, coolant is connected with anode.

Hence, option $\left(B\right)$ is the correct answer.
