  1. Question 1

    2021 Paper 19

    23
    If the maximum value of accelerating potential provided by a radio frequency oscillator is 12kV12kV. The number of revolution made by a proton in a cyclotron to achieve one sixth of the speed of light is [mp=1.67×10−27 kg,e=1.6×10−19C,\left\lbrack m_{p}= 1.67 \times10^{- 27}\text{ }kg,e = 1.6 \times10^{- 19}C, \right. Speed of light =3×108 m/s= 3 \times10^{8}\text{ }m/s ]

    A cyclotron is used to accelerate protons. If the operating magnetic field is 1.0 T1.0\text{ }T and the radius of the cyclotron 'dees' is 60 cm60\text{ }cm, the kinetic energy of the accelerated protons in MeVMeV will be: [use mp=1.6×10−27 kg,e=1.6×10−19Cm_{p}= 1.6 \times10^{- 27}\text{ }kg,e = 1.6 \times10^{- 19}C ]
