What is the significance of dees in cyclotron?

to maintain potential difference needed in the accelerating charged particle in the cyclotron 'dees' are most significant.


What is siclotron?

A cyclotron is a type of a particle accelerator in which charged particles accelerate outwards from the center along the spiral path.


Why electron cannot be accelerated by cyclotron?

In a cyclotron, the most important condition is that of the cyclotron frequency. The frequency of the square wave oscillator connected to the dees of the cyclotron must match the frequency of revolution of the charged particle being accelerated. For ordinary ions, once the frequency is set there is no need to change or adjust the frequency. The equation for cyclotron frequency is As it is clear from the above equation that the cyclotron frequency is inversely proportional to mass of the ion. The frequency of revolution is apparently constant for ordinary ions. If an electron is accelerated in a cyclotron, it quickly picks up high-speed comparable to the speed of light because of its light mass. The speed comparable to the speed of light is called relativistic speed. At relativistic speeds, mass is not constant but varies according to the relation. As per the equation as speed increases, relativistic mass increases. This will change the frequency of revolution and the revolution will go out of phase. The acceleration will stop.


Give you an example of electrical force?

Motion of ions in a battery, or the motion of a charged particle in cyclotron; muscle contraction in tissue, the frog's leg twitch.


The strength of the electric field of a charged particle becomes greater as the distance from the particle decreases?

What are the applications of the neutron from a cyclotron in research?

The cyclotron is a charged particle accelerator. It works on funamental electromagnetic principles. As a neutron is not charged, we can't accelerate them with a cyclorton. At least not alone. They can be "carried" with a proton or more (think alpha particle) and accelerated that way. And we've done that in research to see what kind of things come out of the collisions (called scattering events) of the particles in the beam with selected target materials. Use the link below to learn more about the cyclotron and how it works.

When the distance from a charged particle decreases the strength of the electric field does what?

As the distance from a charged particle increases the strength of its electric field DECREASES.


Has to do with charged particles?

In physics when a particle is charged it is also a particle with an electric charge. They may be an ion such as a molecule with a surplus of electrons.
