In a cyclotron, a charged particle

A

Undergoes acceleration all the time

B

Speeds up between the dees because of the magnetic field

C

Speeds up in a dee

D

Slows down within a dee and speeds up between dees

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
The charged particle undergoes acceleration as (i) Speeds up between the dees because of the oscillating electric field and
(ii) Speed remains the same inside the dees because of the magnetic field but direction changes continuously.
