What is the scientific principle behind particle accelators?

particle accelerators work by accelerating a charged particle in a magnetic field where the lines of magnetic flux are such that the particle is accelerated into a circular path. This is so that the force produced by such a motion and magnetic field is perpendicular to both the lines of magnetic flux and the velocity of the particle. The stronger the magnetic field and the faster the particle is moving, the more of a force is required (i.e stronger magnetic field) to keep the particle accelerating. Only a charged particle is affected by a magnetic field so only charged particles can be used inside a particle accelerators (i.e protons and electrons.) neutrons have a charge of zero and are not affected by magnetic fields.


How does the Earth's magnetic field deflect charged particles?

A charged particle naturally changes direction in a magnetic field. This is because any charged particle produces a magnetic field when it is moving. And if the charged particle is moving through a magnetic field, the two fields (in this case the Earth's and the one created by the moving particle) interact to deflect the particle. The particle will be deflected "to the side" or laterally, and positively charged particles will be deflected in the opposite direction of negatively charged one.


A charged particle moving with a constant velocity enters a magnetic field?

when a charged particle is moving with some velocity it produces some magnetic field. If we place that charged particle in presence of external magnetic field it gets affected by that external field.


Why are alpha and beta rays deflected in opposite directions in a magnetic field?

An alpha particle, which is a 24He nucleus, has a mass of 4 and a charge of +2. A beta particle has a charge of +1 or -1, depending on whether it is a positron (beta +) or an electron (beta -). It's mass is minuscule compared to the alpha particle, and it will undergo a comparatively huge deflection in the same field as an alpha particle would. Though the alpha particle has twice the charge as a beta particle, it has several thousand times the mass of that beta particle. As it is so much more massive than the beta particle, its inertia will be much more difficult to overcome even though it has twice the charge.


Which kind of particle when passed through an electric field?

An Alpha particle.

Does an alpha particle and beta particle has the same speed in a magnetic field?

Alpha particles with the same energy as beta particles have much less speed, magnetic field or no.

Why beta and alpha particles deflected when they pass the magnetic field?

Alpha and beta particles are deflected by a magnetic field because they have charge and, as such, are affected by the electromagnetic interaction or force.

Why alpha ray form along curved then beta ray?

Alpha and beta particles only travel along curved paths when they are affected by a magnetic field. This is because they are charged particles, and so feel a force perpendicular to the direction of the field and the direction they are travelling in, described by this equation.F=q(vxB)where q is the charge on the particle, v is the particles velocity, and B is the magnetic field strength.The charge on an alpha particle is twice that on a beta particle, and consequently the force on it is twice as big so it moves along a more steeply curved path.


Does an alpha particle undergo electromagnetic radiation?

Yes alpha particle goes under goes electromagnetic radiations. when an atom is exposed to the magnetic field the alpha particle deviates right through right direction which indicates does have capacity to excite and emits radiations to come to ground level.

Which of the two an alpha particle or a proton projected normal to a uniform magnetic field would describe a path of smaller radius?

Assuming equal velocity. The alpha particle has twice the charge but four times the mass so it would have the wider radius.
