Question

For proton acceleration, a cyclotron is used in which a magnetic field of 1.4 Wb/m² is applied. Find the time period for reversing the electric field between the two Ds.

Answer 1

Data: B= 1.4 Wb/m² , m = 1.67 × 10^-27 kg,

q = 1.6 × 10^-19 c

T = `(2pi"m")/("qB")`

t = `"T"/2 =(pi "m")/"qB" = (3.142(1.67 xx 10^-27))/((1.6 xx 10^-19)(1.4))`

= 2.342 × 10^-8 s
