Q

Describe how the cyclotron works

A

-Charged particles/ions are released in the centre
-There is an electric field across the dees due to the potential difference across them
-So the charges experience a resultant electrostatic force between the dees in the same direction as the velocity
-Inside the semi-circular dees,the magnetic field causes the circular motion
