AI Generated Solution

To solve the problem, we need to calculate the ratio of the radii of the circular paths described by an alpha particle and a proton when they pass through a magnetic field with the same kinetic energy. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Particles**: - An alpha particle consists of 2 protons and 2 neutrons, hence it has a charge of \( +2e \) and a mass of approximately \( 4m \) (where \( m \) is the mass of a proton). - A proton has a charge of \( +e \) and a mass of \( m \). ...

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. Cyclotron is not suitable for accelerating
