11.

What is the job of the magnetic field in a cyclotron?

a)

Create a force perpendicular to the motion of the particle, which acts a centripetal force

b)

To accelerate the particle between the dees

c)

To apply a force parallel to the direction of motion of the particle, which acts as the centripetal force.

d)

So the direction of the force can be alternated every half turn

12.

19.

Why do the tubes in a LINAC get longer throughout the accelerator?

a)

So the particle can be accelerated

b)

So the polarity of the supply can be switch between each tube

a)

To conserve momentum

b)

To create mini black holes

c)

So extra energy is available to create new mass

d)

Because time slows down close to the speed of light
