In a cyclotron the radius of dees is R and the applied magnetic field has a magnitude of B. Particles having charge q and mass m are accelerated using this cyclotron and the maximum kinetic energy that can be imparted to a particle is k.
(a) Find k in terms of R, B, q and m.
(b) If protons and alpha particles are accelerated using this cyclotron which particle (proton or alpha) will gain more kinetic energy?
(c) Can we use a cyclotron to impart very high kinetic energy to an electron?

Correct Answer - `(a) k=(R^(2)q^(2)B^(2))/(2m)`
`(b)` Both will get same energy
`(c)`No
