A proton in a cyclotron gains of kinetic energy per revolution, where is the potential between the dees. Although the energy gain comes in small pulses, the proton makes so many revolutions that it is reasonable to model the energy as increasing at the constant rate , where is the period of the cyclotron motion. This is power input because it is a rate of increase of energy.
a. Find an expression for , the radius of a proton's orbit in a cyclotron, in terms of . Assume that at .
Hint:Start by finding an expression for the proton's kinetic energy in terms of .
b. A relatively small cyclotron is in diameter, uses a magnetic field, and has a potential difference between the dees. What is the power input to a proton, in ?
c. How long does it take a proton to spiral from the center out to the edge?
