The potential different across the Coolidge tube is `20 kV and 10 m A` current flows through the voltage supply. Only `0.5%` of the energy carried by the electrons striking the largest is converted into X-ray. The power carried by the X-ray beam is `p`. Then

A

`0.1 W`

B

`1 W`

C

`2 W`

D

`10 W`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
Input power`=20xx10^(3)xx10xx10^(-3)=200 W`
`0.5%` of it `=0.5/100xx200= 1W`
