The current,however, reverses its direction not with themake and break, but the change in directionof the primary flow. CLOSED CORE TRANSFORMER 35 The high potential current in the secondaryis alternating, differing from that produced byan induction coil in being more nearly equal inboth phases. For utilization in an x-ray tubeit must of course be made unidirectional.

This changes the direction of theinverse wave, so that the high tension alter-nating current is practically transformed into e f S i - d c
