a. Derive an expression for the frequency of the alternating voltage on the dees of the cyclotron.
b. What is the frequency of the voltage?
c. What is the maximum kinetic energy of the protons as they emerge from the
instrument?
d. What is the equivalent accelerating voltage?
a.
The centripetal force of the proton in a cyclotron is
Here, mass of the proton is m, velocity of the proton is v and radius of the circular path is R.
The magnetic force exrted on the proton is
Here, charge of the proton is q and magnetic field is B.
The centripetal force of the proton to move in a circular path inside the cyclotron is provided by the magnetic force,
Now, the period of the proton is equal to the distance covered by the proton in one cycle divided by the velocity of the proton.
Now, freqeuncy of the proton is equal to the reciprocal of the period.
This is the resonant freqeuncy that shoudl matched with the frequency of the alternating voltage on the dees of the cyclotron.
Therefore, the freqeuncy of the alternating voltage on the dees of the cyclotron is
b.
Subsitute 0.575 T for B, 1.602 x 10-19 C for q, 1.673 x 10-27 kg for m in the frequency above equation,
Therefore, the freqeuncy of the volatge is 8.77 x 106 Hz.
c.
The maximum radius of the circular path traced by the proton is
r = 0.600 m
The kinetic energy of the proton emering from the cyclotron is
Therefore, the maximum kinetic nenergy of the emerge proton is 0.0913 x 10-11 J.
d.
The equivalent accelerating voltage is
Therefore, the equivalent accelerating voltage is 5.69 x 106 V.

2. A cyclotron is a device used to accelerate charged particles to high speeds. It consists of two hollow containers -called dees because of their shape facing each other and separated by a small gap. They are immersed in a uniform magnetic field, B, and are attached to a source of alternating voltage. A charged particle is projected from the center of the cyclotron into Dee #1, and the magnetic force causes it to turn in a cirele. When it...
