Assertion: Cyclotron does not accelerate...

Assertion: Cyclotron does not accelerate.
Reason: Mass of the electron is very small.

A

If both the assertion and reason are true and reason is a true explantion of the assertion.

B

If both the assertion and reason are true but the reason is not the correct explantion of the assertion.

C

If the assertion is true but reason false

D

If both the assertion and reason are false.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A

Cyclotron is suitabel for acceterating heavy particles like protons, `alpha` particles etc, and not for electrons because fo low mass. Because electrons acquire very high velocities very near to velocity of light an dappreciable variartion in their mass, occurs.
