Question:

A charged particle is subjected to acceleration in a cyclotron which consists of two dees '\(D_1\)' and '\(D_2\)'. The charged particle undergoes increase in its speed.

  • inside \(D_1, D_2\) and the gap between dees.
  • only inside \(D_1\).
  • only in the gap between \(D_1\) and \(D_2\).
  • only inside \(D_2\).

The Correct Option is C

Solution and Explanation


Concept:
• Inside dees: only magnetic field acts → no work done
• Gap between dees: electric field accelerates particle

Step 1:
Inside dees.
Velocity direction changes, not magnitude.

Step 2:
Between dees.
Electric field increases kinetic energy.

Step 3:
Conclusion.
Speed increases only in gap. Final Answer: Option (C)
