Q150 / 180 · KCET 2015 · Physics

A cyclotron is used to accelerate

A
Oneutron
Correct answer
B
only positively charged particles
C
only negatively charged particles
D
both positively and negatively charged particles

Solution

A cyclotron is used to accelerate only positively charged particles. Cyclotron accelerates charged atomic and subatomic
particles by alternating electric field while following an outward spiral or circular path in a magnetic field.

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'B'.
