Cosmic rays are charged particles that strike out atmosphere from some external source. We find that more low-energy cosmic rays reach the earth at the north and south magnetic poles than at the (magnetic) equator. Why it is so?

Find the magnetic force acting on the charged particle. In which direction the particle is going to get deviated? Neglect gravity and other forces.

The fact tht a changing magnetic flux produces an electric field is basic to the operation of many high energy particle accelerators. Since the principle was first successfully applied to the acceleration of electrons (or beta particles) in a device called the betatron, this method of acceleration is often given that name. The general idea involved is shown in Fig. An electromagnet is used to produce a changing flux through a circular loop defined by the doughnut shaped vacuum chamber. We see that there will be an electric field E along the circular length of the doughnut, i.e. circling the magnet poles, given by 2piaE = d(phi)//dt , where 'a' is the radius of the doughnut. Any charged particle inside the vacuum chamber will experience a force qE and will accelerate. Ordinarily, the charged particle would shoot out the vacuum chamber and becomes lost. However, if the magnetic field at the position of the doughnut is just proper to satisfy the relation, Centripetal force = magnetic force or mv^(2)//a = qvB then the charge will travel in a circle within the doughnut. By proper shaping of the magnet pole piece, this relation can be satisfied. As a result, the charge will move at high speed along the loop within the doughnut. Each time it goes around the loop, it has, in effect, fallen through a potential difference equal to the induced emf, namely epsilon = (d(phi)//dt) . Its energy after 'n' trips around the loop will be q(n(epsilon)) . Variable magnetic flux
