In a cyclotron, a charged particle: |
undergoes acceleration all the time. speeds up between the dees because of magnetic field. speeds up in a dee slows down within a dee and speeds up between the dees |
undergoes acceleration all the time. |
The correct answer is Option (1) → undergoes acceleration all the time. The particle in a cyclotron is always accelerating, either centripetally within the dees (due to electric field) or linearly between the dees (due to magnetic field). |
