Why does cyclotrone do not accelerates electrons and negative particles?
Answers
Hiii dear here is the answer
A cyclotron cannot be used to accelerate electrons because electrons are of very small mass. Thus, the velocity will be increased to such a great extent that the electron will be thrown out of the step with the oscillating field. ... A cyclotron cannot be used to accelerate neutral particles.
Hope its help u
IN cyclotron only positively charged particles are used and not negatively charged particles because of the increased relativistic mass. For example, electrons cannot be accelerated to high velocities by the cyclotrons because the mass of electrons is very small and a small increase in energy of the electron makes the electron move with very high speed. As the velocity of the electron increases, the relativistic mass also increases. As a result, of it, the electron goes quickly out of step with the oscillating electric field.
hope it will be helpful to you.
