Document Summary
Vector product creates a vector perpendicular to the 2 vectors used to calculate it. Use the right-hand rule to determine the direction of the vector. When components are vector multiplied, these are the following results: To calculate the cross-product of two vectors, use the determinant rule to formulate the equation. To calculate the volume of a triple vector product, use the following equation. ||b x c || is the area of the parallelogram that forms the base: a cos is the height perpendicular to the base. Produces radioisotopes by accelerating particles towards each other. Ions are injected near the centre of the machine. Follows a specific motion as defined by the. Undergo circular orbits in the magnetic field within the cyclotron. Particles only experience the magnetic field as interfering electric fields are screened using the faraday cage effect. Cyclotron equation is given where: r is the orbit radius, c is the cyclotron frequency.
