A charged particle is subjected to acceleration in a cyclotron as shown. The charged particle undergoes increase in its speed

  1. A Only in the gap between \(D_1\) and \(D_2\)
  2. B Only inside \(D_2\)
  3. C Inside \(D_1, D_2\) and the gaps
  4. D Only inside \(D_1\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) Inside \(D_1, D_2\) and the gaps

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

A charged particle experiences two different
forces in a cyclotron as follows.
(i) Inside the Dees It is accelerated due to the magnetic field inside the dees.
(ii) In the Gaps It is accelerated due to the electric field.
