6. A cyclotron is used to accelerate alpha particles (of mass 6.64 x 10-27 kg and charge +2e). The potential difference between the dees is 1500Vand the alpha particles cross the gap between the dees 462 times before emerging from the cyclotron. a. Calculate the kinetic energy of the emergent alpha particles. Give you answer in MeV. b. Calculate the radius of this cyclotron, given that its magnetic field strength is 0.90T. C. Describe and explain the effect on the final kinetic energy of the alpha particles if instead a potential difference of 3000V had been used between the dees.
