प्रश्न
An α-particle and a proton are released from the centre of the cyclotron and made to accelerate.
(i) Can both be accelerated at the same cyclotron frequency?
Give reason to justify your answer.
(ii) When they are accelerated in turn, which of the two will have higher velocity at the exit slit of the does?

उत्तर
(i) Let us consider: Mass of proton = m, Charge of proton = q, Mass of alpha particle = 4m
Charge of alpha particle = 2q
Cyclotron frequency, `v =(Bq)/(2pim) => v∝q/m`
For proton : Frequency , `v_p∝q/m `
For alpha particle: Frequency ,`v_a ∝(2q)/(4m) or v_a∝q/(2m)`
Thus, particles will not accelerate with same cyclotron frequency. The frequency of proton is twice than the frequency of alpha particle.
(ii)
Velocity,`v =(Bqr)/m =>v∝q/m`
for proton:Velocity, `v_p∝q/m`
For alpha particle : Velocity ,`v_a ∝(2q)/(4m) or v_a∝q/(2m)`
Thus particles will not exit the dees with same velocity. The velocity of proton is twice than the velocity of alpha particle.

Two metal strips, each of length l, are clamped parallel to each other on a horizontal floor with a separation b between them. A wire of mass m lies on them perpendicularly, as shown in the figure. A vertically-upward magnetic field of strength B exists in the space. The metal strips are smooth but the coefficient of friction between the wire and the floor is µ. A current i is established when the switch S is closed at the instant t = 0. Discuss the motion of the wire after the switch is closed. How far away from the strips will the wire reach?
