Magnetron current

Reference: Elekta manual

If the current of the magnetron magnet is reduced, the magnetron impedance will also be reduced, the HT current will increase, but the RF power will go down because the effective voltage is reduced.

V=IR
I decreases, V decreases

P=IV
if V decreases Power decreases
