Filament circuit
The circuit responsible for providing the current to heat the filament of the x-ray tube is known as the filament circuit. It comprises several components, including a variable resistor, filament ammeter, step-down transformer, and the filament of the x-ray tube itself. The circuit operates at an approximate current of 3/5 amperes and a voltage of…

Field strength
The magnitude of an electric, magnetic, or electromagnetic field at a specific point is referred to as field strength, which is also known as field intensity.

Field of view
The extent over which a lens is capable of forming a usable image is referred to as the image circle. This range is often quantified and measured in terms of an angle.

Field coil
In electric motors and generators, a coil is employed to generate a magnetic field of consistent strength. This magnetic field serves a crucial role in the operation of these devices.

External surface of conductor
One of the fundamental principles in electrostatics states that electrons tend to accumulate on the outer regions of a solid conductor. This behavior is a result of the repulsion between like charges, causing the electrons to spread out and reside at the greater distance on the conductor’s external surface.
