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 assertion is true but reason false.

D

If asseration and reason both are false.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
Cyclotron is not suitable for accelerating electrons. The reason is that due to small mass, the speed of electrons increases rapidly. Likewise, due to the quick relativistic variation in their mass, the electrons get out of step with the oscillating electric field.
