Q167 / 180 · KCET 2023 · Physics

A charged particle is subjected to acceleration in a cyclotron as shown. The charged particle undergoes increase in its speed

A
Only in the gap between $D_1$ and $D_2$
B
Only inside $D_2$
Correct answer
C
Inside $D_1, D_2$ and the gaps
D
Only inside $D_1$

Solution

A charged particle experiences two different forces in a cyclotron as follows. (i) Inside the Dees It is accelerated due to the magnetic field inside the dees. (ii) In the Gaps It is accelerated due to the electric field.

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'C'.
