What type of energy is gained by accelerated particles?

The particles gain kinetic energy, and if electrons are being accelerated, then you get electromagnetic radiation as well. Depending on the situation, the particle may acquire potential energy as well.


How is a charged particle accelerated when the electric field inside the dees of a cyclotron is zero?

In a cyclotron, the charged particle is accelerated by the oscillating electric field between the dees. When the particle enters the gap between the dees, the electric field is zero, but a magnetic field causes the particle to rotate in a circular path and gain energy each time it crosses the gap due to its velocity being increased by the electric field before entering the gap.


How is particle movement related to thermal energy?

Particle movement is directly related to thermal energy. As thermal energy increases, particles gain kinetic energy and begin to move faster and more erratically. This increased movement contributes to the overall temperature of a system and can lead to changes in state, such as melting or boiling.


What does it mean when your bread burns did the bread has undergone a change of state?

no,according to laten heat if a particle releases or gain heat energy the state of the particle do not change.


How is energy passed from particle to particle during heat conduction?

As a particle absorbs the energy (heat) it begins to move and vibrate faster. This increased vibration and movement causes it to bump into surrounding particles more, passing the energy onto them. As more particles get bumped, more particles start to move in turn bumping their neighbors and conducting the energy or heat through the substance.


When faster moving and slower moving particles collide which particles gain energy?

It depends upon the mass of the particles also. Assuming equal mass, then the slower moving particle gains some energy, and the faster moving particle loses energy. However, if the slower moving particle had greater mass, it could transfer energy to the faster moving particle.


How is a proton accelerated in a particle accelerator?

Using electric fields. But velocity is increased step by step. In case of linear accelerator successive alternating right polarity accelerates to a higher uniform speed and it travels through proportionate lengthy tunnels. In case of cyclotron both electric (alternating) and intense magnetic field are used to increase the speed step by step.


An electric current is produced when charges are accelerated by an electric field to move to a position of potential energy that is?

lower than their initial potential energy. The charges gain kinetic energy as they accelerate through the field, creating an electric current.


Kinetic energy plus particle attraction?

When a particle has kinetic energy (movement), it can overcome the attractive forces between particles and potentially break free from a material. This is common in processes like evaporation, where particles gain enough kinetic energy to break free from the liquid's surface tension and become a gas.


What will happen to inter particle spaces if a liquid is heated?

When a liquid is heated, its particles gain energy and move faster, causing the inter-particle spaces to increase. This results in the liquid expanding and becoming less dense.


When does a particle become charged?

gain or lose electrons


How do you know microscopically that potential energy of the particle has increased?

Potential energy might be thought of as the potential for a body to gain kinetic energy if allowed to move. A ball held several feet above the surface of the earth has potential energy because if it is released, gravity will cause it to fall and acquire kinetic energy - or more accurately - convert the potential energy into kinetic energy. The amount of potential energy is determined by the position of the body relative to the source of the force acting on it. Some sources of forces include gravity, magnetism, and electrical charge. On a microscopic scale, we can tell that the potential energy of a particle has increased if it has moved farther from the source of the force. It would also gain potential energy if the magnetic strength increased (when magnetism is creating the force) or the charge increased (when charge is creating the force). Note that in the case of gravity, the mass of the source of the gravity would have to increase since if the mass of the particle increased, it would be a different particle.
