Question 18.
Cyclotron is a device to speed up a charge particle to any desired speed. The
principle is that a charge particle speeds up in the gap between the Dees where an
alternating electric field is applied.
The time of circular motion of the charge particle in the magnetic field normal to
the Dees does not depend on the speed of the particle which is given
as

Hence, the particle takes

to revolve a half circle.

During this time the polarity of the Dees can be changed (adjusted) so that always
the particle speeds up in the gap. This is possible by synchronizing the frequency
of oscillation of the electric field and frequency of revolution of the particle. In
each revolution, the particle gets two impulses to increase its speed. After millions
of revolutions, the particle attains suitable speeds for different purpose such as
atom splitting etc. The Dees are perforated so that the stream of particles move in
spiral path before emerging by the deflector. Using the above ideas answer the
following questions.
