Science Buddies: "Ask an Expert"

Please,anyone there who can help me on information on magnets and on cyclotron and also if there is any simple way for construction of working model of cyclotron.

I'm not sure what you mean by a "working model". If it works, then it is a cyclotron, not a model.

There is some general information about cyclotrons at the wikipedia.

There is also some general information about magnets there:

Ca n u Please tell me about construction of cyclotron on a small scale?

Have you read the links I have provided? You should look at the information I gave AND do your own research. I do not think you (a student) can construct a working cyclotron. There are cyclotrons of all sizes, including rather small, but they require carefully engineered parts, very strong magnets, and high electrical fields. Plus, the output of a cyclotron is high energy particles, which can be dangerous.

What is your hypothesis for your project?

I only have to collect some info on magnets and infact this year is based on applications of magnets.So,I thought that cyclotron is rather a good topic to do & also we have a little information on cyclotron in our studies.

Can u suggest more topic to me ??

Why don't you look through the project ideas on this site.

Here is an example project about magnets.

I would double check that you have to have a "working model". If it is just a model, you could still do cyclotrons.
