question

(a) draw the schematic sketch of a cyclotron. explain the shape of the path on which charged particle moves when the particle is accelerated by it.

(b) to convert a given galvanometer into a voltmeter of ranges 2 v, v and volt, resistances and ohm respectively, are required to be connected in series with the galvanometer. obtain the relationship between and .

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

a) cyclotron is a device that works on the principle that the kinetic energy of a charged particle increases when the charged particle moves in a crossed oscillating electric and magnetic field

.

each time, the acceleration increases the energy of the particle. as the energy increases, the radius of the circular path increases. so, the path is spiral.

b)
