a force in an electric field
2
Q
What exists around charged particles and between charged parallel plates?
A
electric fields
3
Q
What do moving charge produce?
A
a magnetic field
4
Q
What are linear accelerators?
A
use electric fields only to accelerate particles in a straight line
5
Q
What are cyclotron accelerators?
A
use electric fields to accelerate particles and magnetic fields to change direction
6
Q
What are synchrotron accelerators?
A
more modern versions of cyclotrons such as LHC use electric fields to accelerate particles and magnetic fields to change their direction
