A 1.5 m diameter cyclotron is to accelerate protons to an energy of 8 Mev find magnetic field strength for this cyclotron reqd

Dear Student ,
Look we know that if the magnetic field strength is B acting on a charged particle of charge q & mass m then ,
B=2mEqR , where R =radius of the Dee in a cyclotron=1·52=0·75 .So , B=2×1·67×10-27×8×1·6×10-19×1061·6×10-19×0·75=0·545 T

Regards
