Question

Maximum kinetic energy gained by the charged particle in the cyclotron is independent of ______.

Options

• radius ot the dees

• charge

• mass

• frequency of revolution

Answer 1

Maximum kinetic energy gained by the charged particle in the cyclotron is independent of frequency of revolution.

Explanation:

Maximum kinetic energy gained by a charged particle in a cyclotron is given by

`"E"_"K" = ("q"^2"B"^2"R"^2)/"2m"`

where q = charge of the cyclotron,

B = intensity of magnetic field,

R = radius of orbit

and m = mass of the particle,

Hence, E_K is independent of frequency of revolution.
