In the cyclotron, as radius of the circular path of the charged particle increases (to = angular velocity, ( v= ) linear velocity)
Options
- Aboth ( ) and ( v ) increases
- B( ) only increases, ( v ) remains constant
- C( v ) increases, ( ) remains constant
- D( v ) increases, ( ) decreases
Correct answer
C. ( v ) increases, ( ) remains constant
Step-by-step solution
The radius of circular path is given as [ array l r= m v q B r v array ] Thus in a cyclotron, as radius of the circular path of charged particle increases ( v ) increases and ( ) remains unchanged.
