In an X-ray tube, electrons emitted from a filament (cathode) carrying current I hit a target (anode) at a distance ๐ from the cathode. The target is kept at a potential ๐ higher than the cathode resulting in emission of continuous and characteristic X-rays. If the filament current ๐ผ is decreased to $$\frac{I}{2}$$, the potential difference ๐ is increased to 2๐, and the separation distance ๐ is reduced to $$\frac{d}{2}$$, then
