Vedclass · Answer

(A) In a cyclotron,the charged particle is accelerated by the oscillating electric field present in the gap between the two dees. $(i)$ The particle speeds up between the dees due to the electric field. $(ii)$ Inside the dees,the magnetic field acts on the particle,causing it to move in a circular path with a constant speed,but its direction changes continuously. Therefore,the particle undergoes acceleration due to the electric field in the gap.
