Q. Inside a cyclotron, a charged particle is subjected to both an electric field and a magnetic field. It gains kinetic energy due to

COMEDKCOMEDK 2015Moving Charges and Magnetism

Solution:

Magnetic force does no work on the charged particle. Hence, gain in kinetic energy of a charged particle in a cyclotron depends only on electric field.
