In the cyclotron, as the radius of the circular path of the charged particle increases, ($\omega$ = angular velocity, $V$ = linear velocity)

  • A
    $V$ increases, $\omega$ decreases.
  • B
    $V$ increases, $\omega$ remains constant.
  • C
    only $\omega$ increases, $V$ remains constant.
  • D
    both $\omega$ and $V$ increase.

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 $(v)$?

An alternating electric field of frequency $f$ is applied across the radius $R$ of a cyclotron to accelerate protons (mass $m$). The operating magnetic field $B$ used and kinetic energy $(K.E.)$ of the proton beam produced by it are respectively ($e=$ charge on proton).
