Moving Charges and Magnetism

  1. An alternating electric field, of frequency v, is applied across the dees (radius = R) of a cyclotron that is being used to accelerate protons (mass = m). The operating magnetic field (B) used in the cyclotron and the kinetic energy (K) of the proton beam, produced by it, are given by :​​
    1. B =
      mv
      and K = 2mπ²v²R²
      e
    2. B =
      2πmv
      and K = m²πvR²
      e
    3. B =
      2πmv
      and K = 2mπ²v²R²
      e
    4. B =
      mv
      and K = m²πvR²
      e
Correct Option: C

Time period of cyclotron is

T =
1
=
2πm
; B =
2πm
Ʋ ; R =

(2πmƲR)²
= 2π²mƲ²R²
