1. 1. Introduction

A radiologic technologist (RT) is not just a person who "pushes a button." To understand the nature of how a radiographic image emerges, the technologist must know the basic design of how the instruments used work. Before learning how the exposure factors are selected, the RT needs to understand how electricity is directed to the equipment and the power necessary to create an image.

The purpose of this assignment is to gain an understanding of electrostatics, electrodynamics, and electromagnetism by discussing the basics of electricity as it relates to radiology.
