Question

Maximum kinetic energy gained by the charged particle in the cyclotron is independent of

• A. radius of the dees
• B. charge
• C. mass
• D. frequency of revolution

Answer 1

Answer: (D)

frequency of revolution

Answer 2

Maximum kinetic energy gained by charged particle in a cyclotron is given by
$E_{K}=\frac{q^{2} B^{2} R^{2}}{2 m}$
where, $q=$ charge of the cyclotron, $B=$ intensity of magnetic field, $R =$ radius of orbit and $m=$ mass of the particle, Hence, $E_{K}$ is independent of frequency of revolution.
