what is a cyclotron explain its working for 5 marks
Answers
• Cyclotron is basically a complex scientific device which is used to artificially accelerate different types of charged particles.
• Working procedure of cyclotron :
- In the cyclotron, there is electrical field made by alternating current.
- The particle which we want to accelerate,is placed in that electrical field.
- The electrical field adds excessive energy in that particle.
- That excessive energy increases the speed of the particle and as a result the acceleration of that particle also increases.
- Now,in the cyclotron there are perpendicular magnetic fields also which are used to manipulate the travelling path of the accelerated particles.
Answer:
Cyclotron is a device used to accelerate charged particles to high energies. It was devised by Lawrence. Principle. Cyclotron works on the principle that a charged particle moving normal to a magnetic field experiences magnetic lorentz force due to which the particle moves in a circular path...
