Increasing which of the following would best increase the number of electrons flowing through the dental x-ray electrical circuit?
A) Impulses
B) Kilovoltage
C) Milliamperage
D) PID length

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Milliamperage refers to the amount of electrical current flowing through the circuit. Increasing the milliamperage would increase the number of electrons flowing through the circuit, leading to a higher intensity of x-ray radiation. Impulses refer to the timing of the x-ray exposure and do not directly increase electron flow. Kilovoltage refers to the energy of the x-ray photons, and while increasing it can affect the number of electrons produced, it does not directly increase electron flow. PID length refers to the length of the position-indicating device (PID) which controls the size of the x-ray beam and does not affect electron flow.
