A cyclotron is used to produce a beam of high-energy deuterons that then collide with a target to produce radioactive isotopes for a medical procedure. Deuterons are nuclei of deuterium, an isotope of hydrogen, consisting of one neutron and one proton, with total mass 3.34x10-27 kg. The deuterons exit the cyclotron with a kinetic energy of 5.00 MeV. (a) If the magnetic field inside the cyclotron is 1.25 T, what is the diameter of the deuterons largest orbit, just before they exit? (b) If the beam current is 400 μA, how many deuterons strike the target each second?

The word coaxial means same axis. So for a long straight cable to be coaxial, it must have concentric cylindrical shaped conductor around it. Coaxial cable (popularly called ‘coax’) has various applications ranging from current conductors to radiofrequen…
