Cyclotron is used to accelerate

A

negative ion

B

positive ion

C

electron

D

None of these

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
A cylotron is a device by which the positively charged particles like proton, deuetron etc., can be acclearated. The working of cyclotron is bassed on the fact that a positively charged particle can be accelerated to a suffciently high energy with the help of similler values of oscilating electric field by making it to cross the same electric field time and again with the use of strong magentic field.
