Modern cyclotron working principle and construction

Answer»

Cyclotron is a device used to ACCELERATE charged particles to high energies. It was devised by Lawrence. Cyclotron works on the principle that a charged particle moving normal to a MAGNETIC field experiences magnetic lorentz force due to which the particle moves in a circular path. A cyclotron accelerates a charged particle BEAM using a high frequency alternating voltage which is APPLIED between two hollow "D"-shaped SHEET metal electrodes called "dees" inside a vacuum chamber.
