Why is the electric field zero inside the DEES of a cyclotron?

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The electric field is zero inside the DEES of a cyclotron due to the design of the DEES, which are shaped to create a uniform magnetic field while preventing electric field lines from penetrating the interior. This design ensures that charged particles experience only magnetic forces, allowing them to accelerate effectively without interference from electric fields. The absence of an electric field is crucial for maintaining the stability of particle trajectories within the cyclotron.
