An alternating electric field of frequency v is applied across the dees (radius =R ) of a cyclotron that is being used to accelerate protons (mass = m). The operating magnetic field (B) used in the cyclotron and the kinetic energy (K) of the proton beam, produced by it are given by

  • straight B space equals mv over straight e and space straight K equals 2 mπ squared straight v squared straight R squared
  • straight B equals fraction numerator 2 πmv over denominator straight e end fraction space and space straight K space equals straight m squared straight pi space straight R squared
  • straight B equals space fraction numerator 2 πmv over denominator straight e end fraction space and space straight K space equals 2 mπ squared straight v squared straight R squared
