2 Wavelength is the distance from the peak of one wave to the peak of the next wave. Frequency refers to the number of waves that go by a specific point in one second. Remember that electromagnetic energy waves all travel at the same speed the speed of light 3 Measured in Hertz or angstrom 4 2

3 Electric Circuits 5 Modifying electric flow and controlling electricity results in an electric circuit. Electric Potential 6 Energy =?* Electric charges have potential energy, when positioned close to each other. * EMF 3

4 Capacitors A device that is capable of accumulating and storing an electrical charge 7 A parallel plate capacitor ELECTRIC POTENTIAL (EMF) Potential difference between two charges that makes the current flow (there does not have to be an actual flow just the potential difference The force or strength of electron flow Voltage is an expression of electric potential. electric potential is the ability to do work due to separation of charges The volt is equal to the amount of work (joules) that can be done per unit of charge 220 volts sent to x-ray machines Joule is the SI unit for both mechanical energy and work Work of a battery 8 4

5 VOLT= THE POTIENTAL DIFFERENCE Voltmeter measures the voltage across the circuit 9 Ammeter measures current Ohmmeter- measures resistance of one resistor in circuit switch must be closed for current to flow Properties Of Electricity Voltage Current Resistance the units of measure for electric potential (kev) = voltage current = amperage are the same units we use as technologists to express technical factors on the x-ray machine operating console. kvp is kilovoltage peak and ma is milliamperes. 10 5

6 CURRENT Rate of Electron Flow Ampere or Amp 1 Amp = 1 Coulomb Flowing In 1 Sec Ac = 60 Cycles Per Sec (50 cycles in Europe) People sometimes mistakenly use the word "volt" as if it referred to the current passing through a conductor. the Volt refers to the difference in electric potential between the two charges that make the current flow. The actual flow of electrons is current CURRENT (ma) The # of electrons flowing past a given point per unit of time. AC Alternating current when electrons flow in one direction and then the other DC when electrons all flow in one direction 6

7 Current flows in opposite direction of the electrons 13 AC electrons Flow Alternately DC electrons Flow in one direction Amperes = columbs/sec One ampere equals one coulomb flowing by in one second: Voltage and amperes are related in terms of how they affect the strength of an electric current. 1. A low-voltage, high-amperage current has many electrons moving 2. A low-amperage, high-voltage current with fewer electrons moving may be just as powerful because of the higher potential. Which one of the above describes the X-ray machine? 14 7

8 Resistance Ω ( OHM) Resistance is the property of an element in a circuit that resists or impedes the flow of electricity 15 The amount of opposition to flow Conductor material that permits electrons to flow easily Insulator - inhibits the flow of electrons OHM S LAW: V= IR States that the potential difference (voltage) across the total circuit or any part of that circuit is equal to the current (amperes) times the resistance. V = Potential difference in volts I = Current in amperes R = Resistance in ohms ( ) 16 V= IR I =V/R R=V/I 8

State the meaning of Ohms Law V = IR 18 The voltage across the total circuit or any portion of the circuit is equal to the current times the resistance. According to Ohm s Law, what would the voltage be if the resistance is 2 and the current is 4 ampere? A. 2 volt B. 4 volt C. 8 volt D. 10 volt 9

10 R = V/I 19 The resistance in a circuit is equal to the voltage divided by the current According to Ohm s Law, what would the resistance be if the voltage is 110 volt and the current is 5 ampere? A. 22 B. 55 C. 220 D. 550 I = V/R 20 The current across a circuit is equal to the voltage divided by the resistance. According to Ohm s Law, what would the current be if the voltage is 12 volt and the resistance is 1.5? A. 2 Ampere B. 4 Ampere C. 6 Ampere D. 8 Ampere 10

11 According to Ohm s Law, 21 what would the resistance be if the voltage is 220 volt and the current is 10 ampere? volts of potential difference causes a current of 2 ohms resistance What amperage is produced? 11

12 Transformers & Formulas Autotransformer Step Up Step Down TRANSFORMER FORMULAS (STEP UP OR DOWN) 24 V = voltage N = # turns p = primary s = secondary I = current Vp = N p Vs Ns Vp = I s Vs Ip Np = I s Ns Ip 12

13 Transformer Review 25 Turns Ratio N N S P Transformer Law N N S P V V S P I I P S The number of turns in the primary and secondary coils of a transformer determines whether it will increase or decrease voltage and by how much. In other words, the number of turns in the coil "cut" by this magnetic field determines the magnitude of the induced voltage as reflected by the transformer law formula: 26 Example: A transformer has 100 turns in the primary coil and 10,000 turns in the secondary coil (a turns ratio of 10,000/100 or 100/1). If 500V is applied to the primary side, what will the output voltage be? Calculate as follows: Vs/500V = 10,000/100 Vs/500V = 100/1 Vs = 500V x 100 = 50,000V Simply stated, if there are more turns in the secondary coil than in the primary coil, voltage will be increased. The opposite is also true: If there are more turns in the primary coil than in the secondary coil, voltage will be reduced. 13

14 Vp = N p Vs Ns 27 Transformer has a turns ratio of 1 to 200. There are 250 volts on the primary side, what is the voltage on the secondary side? 28 The Transformer has 100 turns on the Primary side, 100 volts and 10 amps. The secondary side has 50,000 turns of wire. What is the current AND voltage supplied to the secondary side? volts = kvp amps = ma 14

15 29 A radiograph using 200 ma 1/20 sec 55 kvp of a hand was taken in a 3Ø 12p room. What do you use in a single phase room? PROBLEM: 30 A TRANSFORMER HAS A TURNS RATIO OF 1:500 With a supply of 220 V and 50 Amps What is the KVP + MA supplied to the tube? 15

16 = 1 x = 110,000 volts x 500 x = 110 kvp (volts to Kilovolts remove 3 0 s - or move 3 spaces to the left) 1 = x x =.01 Amp or 100Ma = 100 (amps to milliamps move 3 spaces to the rt) X-Ray Tube Circuit 32 What is the turns ratio? 16

18 Transformer Law N N S P V V S P I I P S 35 The Transformer has 100 turns on the Primary side, 100 volts and 10 amps. The secondary side has 50,000 turns of wire. What is the current AND voltage supplied to the secondary side? volts = kvp amps = ma 36 What is responsible for supplying a precise voltage to the x-ray machine? THE TRANSFORMER 18

21 PARALLEL & SERIES circuit 41 EX: CHRISTMAS LIGHTS One line all bulbs go out Separate lines Only bulb burns out Rules for Simple Series Circuits 42 The total resistance is equal to the sum of the individual resistances. The current through each circuit element is the same and is equal to the total circuit current. The sum of the voltages across each circuit element is equal to the total circuit voltage. 21

22 43 Rules for Parallel Circuit The sum of the currents through each circuit element is equal to the total circuit current.

26 Find the Resistance: 51 What is the total resistance of a parallel circuit with resistances of 10, 10, 20? What about a series circuit? What type of circuit is this? 52 26

27 CIRCUITS 53 Short Circuit Resistance = Reduces The Flow Of Electricity (Too Much Will Blow Out Circuits) HIGHER RESISTANCE=LOWER FLOW Of Electrons FUSE ENCASED IN GLASS IN THE CASE OF A SHORT CIRCUIT THE HIGHER CURRENT WILL MELT THE FUSE STOPPING THE FLOW OF ELECTRICITY CIRCUIT BREAKERS HAVE REPLACED FUSES - POWER TOO HIGH IT WILL CUT OFF not damage appliance 54 27

28 55 A circuit breaker acts in the same manner as a fuse. If the current flowing through it rises above a certain level, the circuit breaker flips its internal switch to open the circuit and stop the electric flow. Any short circuit that lets the current rise to a dangerously high level will "trip" the circuit breaker and shut the system down. After the problem is corrected, the circuit breaker can be switched back on.

Grounding is a process of connecting the electrical device to the earth via a conductor. X-ray imaging system 58 Convert electric energy to electromagnet energy. A well controlled electrical current is applied and converted to mostly heat and a few x-rays. 29
