write the construction and working of a cyclotron with principal involved give limitations of cyclotron
Answers
Explanation:
Cyclotron is a device used to accelerate charged particles to high energies. It was devised by Lawrence. 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.
The two limitations of cyclotron are that it cannot accelerate neutral particle. The second limitation is that the lighter elementary particles like electrons or positrons cannot be accelerated and require important changes or modifications of the device
Answer:
Cyclotron :
It is a device used to accelerate the charged particles to gain kinetic energy.
Principle :
When a charged particle moves normal to the magnetic field it experiences magnetic Lorentz force.
