The magnetic poles of a small cyclotron produce a magnetic field with magnitude 0.85 T. The poles have a radius of 0.40 m, which is the maximum radius of the orbits of the accelerated particles. (a) What is the maximum energy to which protons (q = 1.60 × 10−19 C, m = 1.67 ×10−27 kg) can be accelerated by this cyclotron? Give your answer in electron volts and in joules. (b) What is the time for one revolution of a proton orbiting at this maximum radius? (c) What would the magnetic-field magnitude have to be for the maximum energy to which a proton can be accelerated to be twice that calculated in part (a)? (d) For B = 0.85 T, what is the maximum energy to which alpha particles (q = 3.20 × 10−19 C, m = 6.65 × 10−27 kg) can be accelerated by this cyclotron? How does this compare to the maximum energy for protons?
