In a cyclotron, a charged particle

Question

Verified by Toppr

Answer 1

In a cyclotron, charged particle experiences coulombic force(force due to electric field) between the Dees and magnetic force ( force due to magnetic field ) while circulating inside the Dees. In total, it always experiences a force.

In a cyclotron, a charged particle

undergoes acceleration all the time.

speeds up between the dees because of the magnetic field.

speeds up in a dee

slows down within a dee and speeds up between dees.

The ion cannot move with a speed beyond a certain limit in a cyclotron.

As velocity increases time taken by ion increases.

What are the limitations of a cyclotron?

Why is a cyclotron not used to accelerate low weight charged particles?
