    Power of the electron beam in the x-ray tube is 2304 W

    Explanation:

    Given;

    voltage of the electron beam in the x-ray tube, V = 144 kV = 144 x 10³ V

    current of the electron beam in the x-ray tube, I = 16.0 mA = 16 x 10⁻³ A

    Power is given as the product of voltage and current in a circuit.

    Power of the electron beam in the x-ray tube, P = V x I

    Power of the electron beam in the x-ray tube, P = 144 x 10³ V x 16 x 10⁻³ A

    P = 2304 W

    Therefore, power of the electron beam in the x-ray tube is 2304 W
