Assetrion: Acceleration of charged particle in non-uniform electric field does not depend on velocity of charged particle. Reason: Charge is an invariant quantity. That is amount of charge on particle does not depend on frame of reference.

A charged particle moving in an electric field

Assertion : Electric field produced by a variable magnetic field can't exert a force on a charged particle. Reason : This electric field is non-conservative in nature.

A charged particle is free to move in an electric field

Motion of charged particle in combined electric & magnetic field

The cyclotron is a device which is used to accelerate charged particles such as protons, deutrons, alpha particles, etc. to very high energy. The principle on which a cyclotron works is based on the fact that an electric field can accelerate a charged particle and a magnetic field can throw it into a circular orbit. A particle of charge +q experiences a force qE in an electric field E and this force is independent of velocity of the particle. The particle is accelerated in the direction of the magnetic field. On the other hand, a magnetic field at right angles to the direction of motion of the particle throws the particle in a circular orbit in which the particle revolves with a frequency that does not depend on its speed. A modest potential difference is used as a sources of electric field. If a charged particle is made to pass through this potential difference a number of times, it will acquire an enormous by large velocity and hence kinetic energy. Cyclotron is not suitable for accelerating

Which of the following cannot be accelerated in a cyclotron?

Assertion(A): Total work done by non-unifrom electric field on a charged particle starting from rest to any time is non-negative (Assume no other forces act on the charged particle) Reason(R ):the angle between electrostatic force and velocity of the charged particle released from rest in non-uniform electric field is always acute. (Assume no other forces act on the charged particle)
