MCQ
In a cyclotron, a charged particle
  • Undergoesd 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

Correct option: A.
Undergoesd acceleration all the time
a
The charged particle undergoes acceleration as
$(i)$ Speeds up between the dees because of the oscillating electric field and
$(ii)$ Speed remains the same inside the dees because of the magnetic field but direction undergoes change continuously.
