Question
Physics Question on Moving charges and magnetism
In a cyclotron, a charged particle
A
undergoes acceleration all the time
B
speeds up between the dees because of the magnetic field
C
speeds up in a dee
D
slows down within a dee and speeds up between dees
Answer
undergoes acceleration all the time
Explanation
Solution
In a cyclotron, charged particle experiences coulombic force(force due to electric field) between the Dees and magnetic force ( force due to magnetic field ) while circulating inside the Dees. In total, it always experiences a force.
