Definition: Cyclotron

A device used to accelerate positively charged particles (α particles, deutrons, protons, etc.) to acquire enough energy to carry out nuclear disintegration is called a cyclotron.

Maharashtra State Board: Class 11

Formula: Cyclotron

mv = p = q BR

Maharashtra State Board: Class 11

Formula: Resonance Condition

fa = fc​

Maharashtra State Board: Class 11

Formula: Final Kinetic Energy

Final energy in cyclotron: proportional to \[\ R_{exit}^2\]

Maharashtra State Board: Class 11

Key Points: Cyclotron

  • Electric field accelerates the particle; magnetic field keeps it in circular orbit of constant frequency.
  • Resonance: polarity of Ds reverses as ion crosses gap after each semicircle.
  • Cannot accelerate neutrons (uncharged) or electrons (small mass, high velocity).
  • Ion speed is limited.
