COMEDK2015PhysicsMagnetic Effects of Current
Inside a cyclotron, a charged particle is subjected to both an electric field and a magnetic field. It gains kinetic energy due to the
Options
- Aelectric field
- Bmagnetic field
- CBoth (a) and (b)
- DNone of these
Correct answer
A. electric field
Step-by-step solution
Inside a cyclotron, charged particle gains kinetic energy only due to electric field, because in magnetic field, its kinetic energy remains unchanged.
