The effect of x-ray on some electrical components

Abstract

The effects of x-ray on electronic component such as resistors and capacitors have been studied in this work which revealed in damage of these components. In this research different types of resistors and capacitors with different magnitude (1770 and 56 ohm) and light resistor, and (10 and1000 μF) exposure to an x-ray radiation with energy 35KV / 1mA. The study divided to three parts, the first part study that components before irradiation, second part after 10 second, and third part after 30 minutes. It is found that the impedance and capacitance decrease by increasing the time of exposure
