Accelerated twice per rotation by a potential of V=25 kV. (a) If the radius of the cyclotron is 2 meter, what is the maximum energy of the deuteron? Express your answer in Joules (the deuteron mass is 3.34*10-27kg) b) Starting from a negligibly small velocity, how many full rotations does the deuteron need before it reaches this maximum energy? c) What is the time it takes for the deuteron to make one complete rotation when its energy is about 500 keV and when it is about 5 MeV? Ignore possible relativistic effect

A deuteron is related to deuterium, which is hydrogen with one neutron in the nucleus.

The charge on the deuteron is 1.6x10^-19C. In half a rev, the charge gets a force of Eq on it.
