Created by Arghya Sen The cyclotron frequency is , which depends only on the charge, mass, and magnetic field — not on the particle's speed. This is precisely why a cyclotron can use a fixed-frequency oscillating voltage to keep accelerating the ion as its radius (and hence path length per revolution) grows with speed.
Statement I: A cyclotron is a device used to accelerate positively charged ions to high energies. Statement II: The cyclotron (resonance) frequency of a charged particle depends upon its speed. Which of the following is correct?

← A positively charged particle moves in the xy-plane, initially along the x-axis. Beyond a point P, due to the presence of electric and/or magnetic fields, its path curves and is found to be non-circular (though still confined to the xy-plane). Which combination of fields is consistent with this observation?Statement I: If a charged particle is projected into a region where the magnetic field B is perpendicular to its velocity, the net force acting on the particle is independent of its mass. Statement II: The particle performs uniform circular motion, and the net force acting on it is mv²/r. Which of the following is correct? →
