In the cyclotron,as the radius of the circular path of the charged particle increases,what happens to the angular velocity $(\omega)$ and linear velocity $(v)$?

  • A
    Both $\omega$ and $v$ increase
  • B
    $\omega$ only increases,$v$ remains constant
  • C
    $v$ increases,$\omega$ remains constant
  • D
    $v$ increases,$\omega$ decreases

What is a cyclotron? Discuss the principle of a cyclotron.

$A$ cyclotron's oscillator frequency is $n$ and the radius of the dees is $r$. The operating magnetic field $(B)$ for accelerating protons of charge $q$ and the kinetic energy of the protons produced by the accelerator are respectively ($m$ and $v$ are the mass and velocity of the proton).

Assertion : Cyclotron is a device which is used to accelerate the positive ion.
Reason : Cyclotron frequency depends upon the velocity.
