Question

abt cyclotron-we knw tat acceleration inc energy,and as the energy of the particle increase,it sweeps a greater radius,and creates a spiral path,,but if the radius keeps on increasing,it won't b a circle,or spiral shaped anymore,and won't we hav a diff structure!and wat is the limit 4r it's increase?

Answer 1

the limit of extent to which the radius can grow is about the same as the radius of the cyclotron itself

Answer 2

it's supposed to be circular. But problem arises when the particle reaches relativistic speeds. mass increases at high speeds, and the acceleration from the E-field won't be in sync anymore.

In any case, if we were to ignore the effect of that it would be "circular". You send the particle flying off using a deflection plate, where you decided that the velocity is high enough to be used for collision.

Answer 3

Radius for cyclotrons are limited only by the amount of electric energy it is planed to withstand. Electricity used to accelerate the particles and to keep them confined in the center of a toroidal chamber at vacuum. Certainly particles at very high velocities will tend to oppose the electromagnetic field that keeps them in "orbit" , that effect is in change use to propel them to a sensor-filled chamber to account for its collision with other matter.

Answer 4

thnxx a lot guyss!:)
