In a cyclotron, a charged particle: |
speeds up inside the dees due to an electric field undergoes acceleration all the time slows down inside the dees and speeds up between dees speeds up between the dees because of the magnetic field |
undergoes acceleration all the time |
The correct answer is Option (2) → undergoes acceleration all the time In a cyclotron, electric field is applied on a charged particle inside the dees and therefore they are accelerated. During circular path, the charged particle has centripetal attraction due to magnetic field. |
