In the cyclotron, as the radius of the circular path of the charged particle increases, ($\omega$ = angular velocity, $V$ = linear velocity)

  • A
    $V$ increases, $\omega$ decreases.
  • B
    $V$ increases, $\omega$ remains constant.
  • C
    only $\omega$ increases, $V$ remains constant.
  • D
    both $\omega$ and $V$ increase.
