An X-ray tube operated at a DC potential difference of 40 kV, produces heat at a rate of 720 W. Assume that 0.5% of energy of the electron is converted into X-rays. Calculate (i) the number of electrons per second striking the target; (ii) the velocity of the incident electron. The charge-to-mass ratio of the electron, e/m = 1.8 ´ 10 11 C Kg -1 .
