Suppose a cyclotron is operated to accelerate protons with a magnetic field of strength 1 T. Calculate the frequency in which the electric field between two Dees could be reversed .

Explanation

Magnetic field B = 1 T
Mass of the proton , `m_(T) = 1.67 xx 10^(-27)` kg
Charge of the proton, `q -1.60 xx 10^(-19)`C
f = `(qB)/(2 pi m_(p)) = ((1.60 xx 10^(-19)) (1))/( 2(3.14)(1.67 xx 10^(-27)) ) `
= 15.3`xx 10^(6) ` Hz = 15.3 MHz
