B) Kilovoltage
C) Milliamperage
D) PID length
C
Explanation: A) An increase in amperage results in an increase in the number of electrons that is available to travel from the cathode to anode when the tube is activated. This results in the production of more x-rays.
B) An increase in amperage results in an increase in the number of electrons that is available to travel from the cathode to anode when the tube is activated. This results in the production of more x-rays.
C) An increase in amperage results in an increase in the number of electrons that is available to travel from the cathode to anode when the tube is activated. This results in the production of more x-rays.
