Question

What is Cyclotron?

Answer 1

Cyclotron : It is a heavy particle accelerator, invented in 1929 by E.O. Lawrence for accelerating charged particles such as protons, deuterons, or alpha particles in the uniform magnetic field upto energy of the order of $\mathrm{MeV}$.

Cyclotron frequency $v=\frac{B q}{2 \pi m}$

where $m$ and $q$ are mass and charge of the particle and $B$ is the strength of magnetic field.
