Q.29 Write Ampere‟s circuital law.

accelerated charged particles (ions) in both Dees.
Derive the following parameters of cyclotron:
(a) Cylotron frequency and
(b) Kinetic energy of ions in cyclotron.
A.29 Ampere’s Circuital Law- “According to Ampere‟s Circuital Law the line integral of the magnetic
fie1d around any closed circuit in vacuum (or -air) is equal to the arithmetical product of
permeability constant (0 ) of vacuum and the total current passing through that closed circuit."
Therefore mathematically.

Solenoid- "When on a cylindrical non-conducting tube (of porcelain or card board) an insulated
copper wire is wound closely along its length in the form of a helix, then this arrangement is called
a solenoid". In the solenoid the base of every turn can be considered to be almost perpendicular to
the axis of the solenoid, the magnetic field produced is shown in the figure. Inside the solenoid
magnetic field lines are parallel and their directions are along the length of the solenoid. Therefore,
outside the solenoid the value of magnetic field is negligible.
When the length of solenoid is very large as compared to its radius r , it is considered to be a
solenoid of infinite length. Solenoid of infinite length does not have ends. Thus, inside these
solenoids magnetic field is uniform which is represented by force lines parallel to its axis. In this
condition at a point situated outside the solenoid value of magnetic field is almost zero. This is also
called ideal solenoid.
The figure shows a solenoid of length L and N number of turns. When current I is passed through
the solenoid then uniform magnetic field is obtained inside the solenoid. To determine the
intensity B of magnetic field e inside, the solenoid we consider a rectangular path PQRS.

OR Cyclotron- Cyclotron is such device which is used to accelerate charged particles or ions to high
energy. It is invented by E.O. Lawrence and M.S. Livingston to obtain high energetic charged particle.
Principle- working, of cyclotron is based on its fact that periodic tie of ions and positive charge in a
given magnetic field does not depend on seep of ions and radius of circular path i. e. when the positive
charge is moving alternately in strong magnetic field of high frequency, it beginning to acceleration
and thus energy increases.
Cyclotron works on the principle when a charge is place in a field such that magnetic and electric field
which are perpendicular to each other, they have experience of Lorentz's force.

Construction- It consists of two hollow D shaped metallic chambers which a source of positive
particle is kept. Dees are connected to high frequency oscillator which gives electric field of high
frequency in the interval of dees. In the arrangement magnetic field due to strong electromagnet is
perpendicular to the plane of dees.
Working – Suppose a proton injected by source at the centre of the cyclotron in figure, initially moves
towards a negatively charged dees. It will acceleration towards this dees and enter in it once inside, it
is shielded from electric field from copper walls of dees; i. e. the electric field does not enter the dees.
The magnetic field, however, is not screen by the (non-magnetic) copper dees, so the proton moves in
a circular path whose radius, which depends on its speed, is given / Br mv q . Let us assume that at
the instant, the proton enter into the center gap from the first dees, the potential difference between the
dees is reversed. Thus, the proton again faces a negatively charged dees and is again accelerated. This
process continues; The circulating proton away being in step which spiraled out to the edge of the
dees system. Then a detector plate sends it out through a portal.
Resonance Condition – The condition of working of cyclotron is that, “frequency of alternating
potential should be equal to the frequency of revolution of charged particle inside the dees. This
condition is called resonance condition".

Refraction
When a ray of light enters from one transparent medium into another, there is a change in speed and
direction of the ray in the second medium. This phenomenon is called retraction.
Lows of refraction: (i) The incident ray, the refracted ray and the normal to the surface separating the two media, all
lie in the same plane,
(ii) Snell's Law: For two media, the ratio of sine of angle of incidence to the sine of the angle of
refraction is constant for a beam of particular wavelength, i.e.,
where n1 and n2 are absolute refractive indices of I and II media respectively and n2, is a refractive
index of second (II) medium with respect to first (I) medium.
OR When two waves of same frequency and constant initial phase difference travel in the same direction
along a straight line simultaneously, they superpose in such a way that the intensity of the resultant
wave is maximum at certain points and minimum at certain other points. The phenomenon of
redistribution of intensity due to superposition of two wave of same frequency and constant initial
phase difference is called interference.

Fringe of Bright Fringe−Suppose S1 and S2 are two fine slits, a small distance d apart and screen at a distance D from the slits. Perpendicular bisector lines are joined at O point of screen. Hence central bright fringe be at O. P held apart xn from O, where nth bright fringe is formed. The path difference between two waves arriving at P is equal to S2P – S1P. By Right angle 2S PN,

If fringe width of bright fringes is 2mm, the fringe width of dark fringes will also be 2mm because in
interference both bright and dark fringes are of equal width.
The centre point of interference fringe pattern is bright because central point „O‟ is equidistant from
S1 and S2 producing path difference equal to zero.
