Question

In cyclotron we apply electric field($\overrightarrow{E}$) & magnetic field($\overrightarrow{B}$) to accelerate the charged particles or ions, where $\overrightarrow{E}$ & $\overrightarrow{B}$

• A. are parallel
• B. are applied at some angle other than ${90}^{\circ }$
• C. are applied in perpendicular directions
• D. none of the above

Answer 1

The correct option is C are applied in perpendicular directions

In a cyclotron, the electrons are accelerated by applying the electric field and magnetic field perpendicular to each other.
