Draw a neat and labelled diagram of a cyclotron. State the underlying principle and explain how a positively charged particle gets accelerated in this machine. Show mathematically that the cyclotron frequency does not depend upon the speed of the particle.

With the help of labelled diagram, state the underlying principle of a cylclotron. Explain clearly how it works to accelerate the charged particles to high energies. Show that cyclotron frequency is independent of energy of the particle. Is there an upper limit on the enregy acquired by the particle? Give reason.

Statement 1: Cyclotron is a device which is used to accelerate the positive ions. Statement 2: Cyclotorn frequency depends upon the evelocity.

Assertion: Cyclotron is a device which is used to accelerate the position ions. Reason: Cyclotron frequency depends upon the velocity.

Cyclotron is a device used to accelerate charged particles but it does not accelerate

The cyclotron is a device which is used to accelerate charged particles such as protons, deutrons, alpha particles, etc. to very high energy. The principle on which a cyclotron works is based on the fact that an electric field can accelerate a charged particle and a magnetic field can throw it into a circular orbit. A particle of charge +q experiences a force qE in an electric field E and this force is independent of velocity of the particle. The particle is accelerated in the direction of the magnetic field. On the other hand, a magnetic field at right angles to the direction of motion of the particle throws the particle in a circular orbit in which the particle revolves with a frequency that does not depend on its speed. A modest potential difference is used as a sources of electric field. If a charged particle is made to pass through this potential difference a number of times, it will acquire an enormous by large velocity and hence kinetic energy. Which of the following cannot be accelerated in a cyclotron?
