In a cyclotron a charged particle
Options
- Aspeeds up in dee
- Bundergoes acceleration all the time
- Cslows down within a dee and speeds up between dees
- Dspeeds up between the dees because of the magnetic field.
Correct answer
B. undergoes acceleration all the time
Step-by-step solution
(B) Between the dee's the charged particle accelerates due to electric field. Within the dee the particle undergoes circular motion. Hence it undergoes centripetal acceleration.
