Moving Charges and Magnetism

Question:

In a cyclotron, a charged particle

Options:

slows down within a dee and speeds up between dees.

undergoes acceleration all the time

speeds up between the dees because of the magnetic field.

speeds up in a dee.

Correct Answer:

undergoes acceleration all the time

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (2) → undergoes acceleration all the time

In a cyclotron, charge particle perpetually experiences coloumb force as well as the magnetic force and move with a constant velocity in accelerator and inside the Dee acceleration occur.

Therefore, it undergoes acceleration all the time.
