Draw a schematic sketch of a cyclotron. Explain briefly how it works and how it is used to accelerate the charged particles. (i) Show that time period of ions in a cyclotron is independent of both the speed and radius of circular path. (ii) What is resonance condition ? How is it used to accelerate the charged particles?

Answer»

SOLUTION :Construction of a cyclotron : As SHOWN in labelled diagram `D_1 and D_2` are two semi-circular disc like metal containers called dees. The straight sections of the dees are open so that the ions can move freely from `D_1 ` to `D_2` and vice-versa. The whole assembly is evacuated to AVOID collisions between the ions and the air molecules. A high frequency oscillating ELECTRIC field (shown by dot marks in figure) by using an electromagnet.
