Cyclotron radiation is the electromagnetic radiation emitted by charged particles, such as electrons or ions, when they are accelerated in a magnetic field. This phenomenon occurs because when a charged particle moves through a magnetic field, it experiences a force that causes it to follow a curved path, typically in a circular or spiral trajectory. As these charged particles accelerate (change direction), they emit radiation due to the loss of energy.
