How is the electric field zero inside the deesof a cyclotron ?
And how is electric field present only in between the dees to accelerate the charged particle ?
Please Explain
Thanks In Advance
Metal dees acts as a shield and due to this electrical shielding effect of dees, the space within each is a region of zero electric field. The particle gets accelerated by electric field each time it passes through between the dees.When the particle moves from one dee to another, it is acted upon by electric field. Electric field changes sign ulternately. Therefore the particle is accelerated by the electric field, which increases the energy of the particle.
