Study Notes
Electricity & Magnetism Module
- This module covers electricity and magnetism, focusing on their applications in diagnostic imaging, specifically X-ray production.
Module Timeline 2024-25
- The module has a scheduled timeline, including lectures, seminars and assessment dates.
- Important topics like 'Skills for module completion', 'Radiation Protection', 'Fundamentals of Radiation' and 'Radiation Safety' are included.
- Virtual and on-campus simulations are part of the module.
- There is a timeline for mock assessments and a final MCQ examination.
Learning Objectives
- Learning objectives include defining the electromagnetic spectrum and its diagnostic imaging applications.
Today's Learning Outcomes
- Understanding charge's nature
- Grasping the principles of magnetism
- Understanding electric current flow
- Knowing the relationship between electric current and magnetic fields
- Understanding how electrical components control electrical supply
- Understanding how electromagnetic induction produces X-rays.
Diagnostic Radiography Equipment
- X-ray tubes, generators, and the X-ray circuit are essential components.
- Image intensifiers, TV systems, and IT systems are also critical to the process.
- Radiation detection devices and Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) are used in diagnostic processes.
Charge
- Electrical charges exert forces on each other, even in a vacuum.
- These forces are mutual, equal, and opposite.
- Like charges repel; unlike charges attract.
- Demonstrated by the behaviour of small metal balls suspended by threads.
The Nature of Charge
- Two types of electric charge exist: positive and negative.
- The smallest unit of negative charge is the electron (e).
- The smallest unit of positive charge is the proton (p).
- The SI unit of charge is the Coulomb (C).
- One Coulomb represents the charge on 6 x 1018 electrons.
Influence on Mutual Forces
- The magnitude of attractive or repulsive forces depends on: -The inverse of the square of the distance between the charged bodies. -The magnitude of the individual charges. -The medium between the charges (maximum in a vacuum).
Electric Current Flow
- Electric fields cause charge movement within a circuit. -Charges move from cathode to anode in electric-circuit.
- Electric field strength describes the intensity at a particular location.
Current, Resistance
- The SI unit of electric current is the ampere (A).
- Charge (C) = Current (A) × time (s).
- Ohm's law states: V = IR (Voltage = Current × Resistance).
- 1 Ampere drives 1 Coulomb per second.
- Resistors control current supply to components.
- Resistance impedes electron flow within a material.
- A potential difference of 1 Volt drives a current of 1 Ampere through a conductor of 1 Ohm.
Capacitance
- A capacitor is a device that temporarily stores electric charge.
- Capacitance is the amount of charge a capacitor can hold per unit potential.
- Capacitance's unit is the farad (F).
- Factors affecting capacitance include electrode area, distance between electrodes, and dielectric constant.
Electrical Energy and Power
- Electrical energy enables electron movement.
- A potential difference drives current flow.
- Energy is used to keep electrons moving in one direction, overcoming resistance.
- Colliding electrons produce heat loss.
Electrical Power - the Watt
- Electrical power (Watts) equals voltage (Volts) × current (Amperes). This illustrates loss.
So, Why Do We Care?
- kV (Voltage): Accelerates electrons in X-ray tubes; crucial for X-ray production.
- mA (Current): Quantity of electrons passing through the X-ray tube; controlling exposure.
- s (Time): Exposure duration affecting the number of X-rays generated.
X-Ray Circuit, Transformers
- A schematic diagram of a simplified x-ray circuit is presented.
- Transformers use mutual induction to alter voltage for specific X-ray needs. Step-up/down voltage. Relationship between primary and secondary voltage and turns is presented.
Magnetism
- Magnetism is caused by moving electrical charges.
- In magnetic materials, electron circulation and spin (atomic dipoles) create magnetism.
- Materials form permanent magnets or magnetic behavior (temporary).
- Domains are regions of aligned atoms causing overall magnetization.
- Magnetic fields are the areas around magnets where magnetic effects are felt. Measured by flux and flux density.
- Types of magnetic materials exist; including diamagnets, paramagnets and ferromagnets.
Electromagnetic Induction
- Moving electrons inside a conductor create a magnetic field.
- Changing magnetic fields induce currents in other conductors.
- This effect is electromagnetic induction.
- Mutual induction in coils, leads to transformer.
- Induction is used in coils such as x-ray tubes.
Electromagnetic induction used in Transformers
- Transformers use mutual induction to transform voltage while keeping power constant.
- The ratio of primary to secondary voltage is dependent on the number of windings on both coils.
Summary
- High voltages are used in X-ray machines to accelerate electrons.
- Current and time affect X-ray photon production.
- Electric and magnetic fields are intrinsically linked.
- Electromagnetic induction generates high voltages for use in X-ray production.
