In a cyclotron, a charged particle

Question

In a cyclotron, a charged particle (A) undergoes acceleration all the time (B) speeds up between the dees because of the magnetic field (C) speeds up in a dee (D) slows down within a dee and speeds up between dees

Tardigrade Admin · Accepted Answer

In a cyclotron, charged particle experiences coulombic force(force due to electric field) between the Dees and magnetic force ( force due to magnetic field ) while circulating inside the Dees. In total, it always experiences a force.
