What is a Cyclotron ?

A cyclotron is a type of particle accelerator that uses a constant magnetic field and alternating electric fields to accelerate a particle in a spiral motion.

How does it work?

A cyclotron accelerates charged particles with a high-frequency, alternating voltage (potential difference). A perpendicular magnetic field causes the particles to go almost in a circle. The beam spirals out to the edge of the container, as the particles' speeds increase. At this point, the particles' speed approaches the speed of light.

WHAT IS A CYCLOTRON?
PRINCIPLE:
1) a positively charged ion can be accelerated to a high energy with the help of smaller values of oscillating electric field by making it to cross the same electric field time again and again.
2)A charged ion moving perpendicular to a magnetic field describes a circular path.

Working:

The ion produced is accelerated towards the dee( D1) which is at a negative potential at that instant.inside dee D1 the ion follow a semi-circular path with a constant speed (v) such that radius of circular path is given by

r=mv/bq
and time taken by the ion to describes the semi-circular path
t=pi*r/v=pi*m/bq=a const
According to cyclotron condition if during this time t the direction of oscillating electric field just gets reversed ,the ion will be further accelerated towards the dee d2 and describe a bigger semi-circular path inside D2 and so on..if v be the frequency of oscillating electric field ,then
t=pi*m/bq=1/2v
v=Bq/2*pi*m
The frequency of oscillating electric field is refered to the cyclotron frequency.
When the radius of the circular path of ion becomes almost equal to the radius of dees, it is taken out through a window W and allowed to hit the a target.

why cyclotron is used to accelerate chrges

can you give me a video?

equation of cyclotron

hi friend,

Cyclotron Definition:

* A cyclotron is a type of particle accelerator that uses a constant magnetic field and alternating electric fields to accelerate a particle in a spiral motion.

WORKING PROCESS :

* A cyclotron accelerates charged particles with a high-frequency, alternating voltage (potential difference).

* A perpendicular magnetic field causes the particles to go almost in a circle.

* The beam spirals out to the edge of the container, as the particles' speeds increase. At this point, the particles' speed approaches the speed of light.

* Its very unique.

You can look for this piece of information in the class 12th physics part 1 where it is very well explained.......you can refer to Pradeep's part-1, unit 3-b-5 too......
