Physics Question on Moving charges and magnetism
A proton is accelerating on a cyclotron having oscillating frequency of 11MHz in external magnetic field of 1T. If the radius of its dees is 55cm, then its kinetic energy (in MeV) is (mp=1.67×10−27kg, e=1.6×10−19C)
A
13.36
B
12.52
C
14.89
D
14.49
Answer
14.49
Explanation
Solution
Here, υc=11MHz=11×106Hz B=1T,R=55cm=55×10−2m, e=1.6×10−19C;mp=1.67×10−27kg, ∴K.E.=2mq2B2R2 =2×1.67×10−27(1.6×10−19)2×(1)2×(55×10−2)2 =23.19×10−13J =1.6×10−1923.19×10−13 =14.49×106eV =14.49MeV
