A cyclotron is a device for accelerating charged particles to high speedas they follow an expanding spiral-like path (See LHC, NSRRC, or an MRImachine). The charged particles are subjected to both an electric fieldand a magnetic field. One of these fields increases the speed of thecharged particles, and the other field causes them to follow a curvedpath. Which one does the latter?The magnetic field, since it exerts a force to the moving charge perpendicular to thecharges' direction of motion.The electric field, since it exerts a force that accelerates the particle in the curvedpath of the facility.Not necessarily only one. Both contributes to the particles' curving of path as bothexert force perpendicular to their velocity's direction.None of them. The curving of charges occur due to the design of the facility/device.

It is the magnetic force which is responsible for the circular motion of charged particle in a…

A singly charged ion of mass m is accelerated from rest by a potential difference V. It is then deflected by a uniform magnetic field (perpendicular to the ions velocity) into a semicircle of radius R. Now a doubly charged ion of mass m' is accelerated through the same potential difference and dellected by the same magnetic field into a semicircle of radius R' = 2R. What is the ratio of the masses of the ions?

Why is the following situation impossible? Figure P28.46 shows an experimental technique for altering the direction of travel for a charged particle. A particle of charge q = 1.00 C and mass m = 2.00 1015 kg enters the bottom of the region of uniform magnetic field at speed = 2.00 105 m/s, with a velocity vector perpendicular to the field lines. The magnetic force on the particle causes its direction of travel to change so that it leaves the region of the magnetic field at the top traveling at an angle from its original direction. The magnetic field has magnitude B = 0.400 T and is directed out of the page. The length h of the magnetic field region is 0.110 m. An experimenter performs the technique and measures the angle at which the particles exit the top of the field. She finds that the angles of deviation are exactly as predicted. Figure P28.46
