Q129 / 180 · COMEDK 2015 · Physics

Inside a cyclotron, a charged particle is subjected to both an electric field and a magnetic field. It gains kinetic energy due to the

Correct answer
A
electric field
B
magnetic field
C
Both (a) and (b)
D
None of these

Solution

Inside a cyclotron, charged particle gains kinetic energy only due to electric field, because in magnetic field, its kinetic energy remains unchanged.

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