A cyclotron is a machine that can be used to accelerate charged particles to achieve large kinetic energies. The resulting beams of highly energetic particles then can be used for many medical applications, including Proton Therapy (a more precise form of "radiation" used in the treatment of some cancers). Electric field between the dees Dees- South pole of magnet High-frequency alternating voltage Source of protons - Particle path North pole of magnet A description of the cyclotron can be found in section 19.3 of the text. If a proton (of mass 1.673x10-27 kg) is accelerated to its maximum velocity inside a dee with radius 4.85cm (this is the radius you would use for the "r" term in the centripetal acceleration), and if the magnetic field has a magnitude of 1.06x10-2T, what is the resulting velocity of the proton in units of km/s (kilometer per second)? Note: It is understood that the unit of your answer is in km/s, however do not explicitly include units in your answer. Enter only a number. If you do enter a unit, your answer will be counted wrong.

The following question isreferring to the concept of motion of charged particlein a magnetic field in terms of its speed, acceleration,cyclotron radius, cyclotron frequency, and kineticenergy. Solve for the unknown quantities
In a mass spectrometer, a specific velocity can be selected from a distribution by injecting charged particles between a set of plates with a constant electric field between them and a magnetic field across them (perpendicular to the direction of particle travel). If the fields are tuned exactly right, only particles of a specific velocity will pass through this region undeflected. Consider such a velocity selector in a mass spectrometer with a 0.125 T magnetic field. What electric field strength, in volts per meter, is needed to select a speed of 4.2 × 106 m/s?
The figure shows a velocity selector that can be used to measure the speed of acharged particle if charge q = 1.3 mC and mass 1.5 µg. A beam of such particles is directedalong the axis of the instrument. A parallel plate capacitorsets up an electric field E, which is oriented perpendicularto a uniform magnetic field B. If the plates are separatedby 4.82 mm and the value of the magnetic field is 2.12 T,what voltage between the plates will allow particles ofspeed 4.32 × 106 m/s to pass straight through withoutdeflection (ignore the gravitational force)?
A cyclotron accelerates charged particles as shown in the figure. The magnetic field contains the particles within the machine while the electric field in the gap accelerates the particles. Since the particles pass through the electric field in both directions, the frequency of the AC source must match the frequency of the particle motion. Calculate the frequency, in megahertz, of the accelerating voltage needed for a proton in a 1.35-T field.
