Maybe I am misunderstanding what the frequency of osscilation of the cyclotron is but what I thought that was referring to was the frequency at which the voltages of the dees are reversed. What I don't get is how the frequency of a particle circulating in a cyclotron is the same as the frequency...
I get that but if the dees change signs twice after one revolution of a particle then how is the frequency of oscillation of the dees the same as the frequency of the particles moving through one revolution because it seems like it would be be twice that value since the voltage switches twice in...
I am having trouble making sense of the frequency of oscillations for a cyclotron. What I don't understand is, if a the voltage difference of the two dees is switched twice ( each time the particles are about to enter them), then why is the frequency of oscillation the same as the frequency at...
Okay I think I'm starting to understand. so if the electric field were uniform then the current going the wire would not be uniform because it takes more force to move current through a resistor than the wires? and if the electric field were uniform then the change in potential energy would...
So I'm having trouble visualizing how voltage drops more within different parts of a circuit, such as a resistor vs. wire. I know all the general equations but the concept is hard for me to comprehend and I am stuck on one notion. So, say you have a simple DC circuit with just a resistor and...
