Detailed Solution

Cyclotron is a device used to accelerate positively charged particles like protons and deuterons etc. Cyclotron mainly consists of
i) Two hollow D-shaped Metallic chambers D1 and D2.
ii) High frequency oscillator
iii) Strong electromagnet
iv) Vacuum chamber
Question Image
Working: The alternating potential difference source [oscillator] accelerate the particle in the gap between dees D1 and D2. The magnetic field makes them move in circular orbits. The frequency of oscillator is made equal to the cyclotron frequency. Then the particle is taken out through the gap with the help of deflector. Kinetic energy of charged particle
KE=q2r2B22m
uses of cyclotron:
1) It is used to implant ions into solids.
2) To produce radio isotopes.
3) It is suitable for accelerating heavy particles like proton, deuteron and α -particles
