Question:

(a) By what factor must the magnetic field in a proton synchrotron be increased as the proton energy increases by a factor of 10? Assume the protons are highly relativistic, so g W 1.
(b) By what factor must the diameter of the accelerator be increased to raise the energy by a factor of 10 without changing the magnetic field?
