Problema 10a

Capitolo 44, Problema 10a

The magnetic field in a cyclotron that accelerates protons is $1.70$ T. How many times per second should the potential across the dees reverse? (This is twice the frequency of the circulating protons.)

Guida verificata passo dopo passo

Determine the relationship between the cyclotron frequency and the magnetic field. The cyclotron frequency (also called the angular frequency) is given by the formula:

f = \frac{q}{2πm} B

, where

q

is the charge of the proton,

m

is the mass of the proton, and

B

is the magnetic field strength.

Substitute the known values into the formula. The charge of a proton is

q = 1.60 \times 10 ⁻ 19

C, the mass of a proton is

m = 1.67 \times 10 ⁻ 27

kg, and the magnetic field strength is

B = 1.70

Calculate the cyclotron frequency using the formula:

f = \frac{q}{2πm} B

. This will give the frequency of the circulating protons in hertz (Hz).

Since the potential across the dees reverses twice per cycle of the proton's motion, multiply the cyclotron frequency by 2 to find the required frequency of the potential reversal.

Express the final result in hertz (Hz) after performing the calculations, ensuring the units are consistent throughout the process.

Ecco i concetti essenziali che devi comprendere per rispondere correttamente alla domanda.

Cyclotron Frequency

Cyclotron frequency refers to the frequency at which a charged particle orbits in a magnetic field. It is determined by the charge of the particle, the mass of the particle, and the strength of the magnetic field. For protons in a magnetic field, the frequency can be calculated using the formula f = (qB)/(2πm), where q is the charge, B is the magnetic field strength, and m is the mass of the proton.

Dees in a Cyclotron

In a cyclotron, the 'dees' are the two D-shaped electrodes that create an oscillating electric field to accelerate charged particles. As protons move between the dees, they gain energy from the electric field, which reverses direction at a specific frequency. The frequency of the electric field must match the cyclotron frequency of the protons to ensure efficient acceleration.

Magnetic Field Strength

Magnetic field strength, measured in teslas (T), is a measure of the intensity of the magnetic field. In a cyclotron, a stronger magnetic field allows for higher energy acceleration of particles. The magnetic field influences the radius of the particle's path and its frequency of rotation, which is crucial for determining how often the electric potential across the dees must reverse to maintain synchronization with the protons.
