Q

Explain why it is not possible for the magnetic field to alter the speed of a proton while it is in one of the D-shaped regions in a cyclotron

A

It is not possible as the force (due to the magnetic field) is perpendicular to the motion/direction of travel/velocity (it can only change the charged particle’s direction or alternatively no work is done on the proton)
Or
No component of force in the direction of motion.

Q

Length of side of square coil = 32 mm

question in picture

A

(using 𝜀 = BANω sin ωt which give a maximum value of 𝜀 max = BANω)
ω(= 𝜀 max /BAN) = 5.1 x 10 ^-3

ω = 13(.1) (rad s-1)
