Topic | Facts |
---|---|
In linear accelerator, what are particles accelerated by? | In a linear accelerator particles are accelerated by alternating current fields. |
What is the detector in a linear accelerator? | Fixed target is the detector in a linear accelerator. |
In a cyclotron what are particles accelerated by? | In a cyclotron particles are accelerated by alternating electric field. |
When is Work done | Work is done when a charge is moved in an electric field. |
What does the electric field do in a particle accelerator | Accelerates the particles. |
What does the magnetic field do in a particle accelerator | bend charged particles into a circular path so that they can be repeatedly accelerated by the same electric field. |
What is ac supply for | when particles pass an electrode to which they are being attracted, the electrode switches charge, and starts to repel the particle. |
What do particle accelerators do | speed up the particles that make up all matter in the universe and collide them together or into a target. |
