Lesson 6: Motion in combined magnetic and electric fieldsCyclotron energies (& effect of electric & magnetic field)
Let's explore how the strength of electric & magnetic fields affect the energy at which the particles exit the cyclotron. Spoilers - The effects are counter intuitive! Created by Mahesh Shenoy.

- Then why is even a thousand volt required? and why not just a few volts?(2 votes)
- I am not a 100% sure, but I think this is the reason. The two 'Dees' are really huge having a radius of 50cm so if we apply a potential difference of a few volts then it may not be enough for the entire two 'Dees'. Correct me if I am wrong(2 votes)
- in the last question, how would we find out the energy gained by the particle after a single revolution through electrostatics? and how is the energy of a moving particle even related to electrostatics since electrostatics is based on charges that are static?(2 votes)
