yeah, I got it now. Those are the "fringing fields" which make-up the e-fields ... not the fields entire body

@mfb Well, sir, I'm sorry if I'm asking too much but can u get me a picture of the e-field inside a cyclotron......I'll be grateful.

In short , can you describe the fields in a cyclotron, especially the E- fields...how are they created and cancelled....if you cannot just tell me "how" are they cancelled?

what do u mean?

They go in circles, in a plane parallel to the plates of the dees if ,and only if, the field inside the dees is zero. If it is not , they will collide with the lower / upper plate....the field inside has to be purely magnetic.

man, leave the acceleration gap. And, i think it does matter because if the edges are metallic, they'll produce a field radially which would account for an ineffective shielding - effect. By the way if there are no edge walls, how do the charges get accelerated in the acceleration - gap...i mean...

If I'm getting u right, u mean there are "no" edge walls, meaning that the dees are actually made up of 2 plates above and below and not "around" them.

Ok, the field lines inside the dees would, as I said, look as if an arrow is shot from the +vely charged dee into the -vely charged dee

the field lines would originate from one dee and end-up at another.....they still would'nt cancel out. Moreover, if they are kept statically charged, the B- field would make the particles collide with the floor.

@M Quack - So, how does the E-field inside the Dees cancel?

But if the E-field is negligible in the space between the Dees, what accelerates the charges? Also, the E-field "inside" is required to be zero / negligible, not in the space.

The E-field originating from the opposite surfaces (above and below) cancel out one another but what about the fields originating from the circular sides? Why is the electric field inside the cyclotron zero then?

Hello there! I'm a high school boy with interests in mechanics, electromagnetism, wave motion, and anything which I can think over.
