In a cyclotron, if a deuteron can gain an energy of 40 MeV, then a proton can gain an energy of-
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
B
In a cyclotron, centripetal force is provided by the magnetic field.
A cyclotron accelerates charged particles with a high frequency alternating voltage.
The magnetic force acting on particle with charge 
and velocity 
is 
centripetal force Maximum energy,
Hence, ratio of energy of deuteron and proton is
