An alternating electric field,of frequency $f$,is applied across the dees (radius $\approx R$) of a cyclotron that is being used to accelerate protons (mass $\approx m$). The operating magnetic field $(B)$ used in the cyclotron and the kinetic energy $(K)$ of the proton beam,produced by it,are given by:

  • A
    $B = \frac{mf}{e}$,$K = 2m\pi^2f^2R^2$
  • B
    $B = \frac{2\pi mf}{e}$,$K = \pi m^2f^2R^2$
  • C
    $B = \frac{2\pi mf}{e}$,$K = 2m\pi^2f^2R^2$
  • D
    $B = \frac{mf}{e}$,$K = \pi m^2f^2R^2$

In the cyclotron,as the radius of the circular path of the charged particle increases,what happens to the angular velocity $(\omega)$ and linear velocity $(v)$?

$A$ cyclotron's oscillator frequency is $n$ and the radius of the dees is $r$. The operating magnetic field $(B)$ for accelerating protons of charge $q$ and the kinetic energy of the protons produced by the accelerator are respectively ($m$ and $v$ are the mass and velocity of the proton).

The oscillator frequency of a cyclotron is $10 \,MHz$. What should be the operating magnetic field for accelerating protons (in $,T$)? (Given: mass of proton $m = 1.67 \times 10^{-27} \,kg$,charge of proton $q = 1.6 \times 10^{-19} \,C$)
