The correct Answer is:
To analyze the given statement, we will break it down into the assertion and the reason, and evaluate their validity step by step. ### Step 1: Understanding the Assertion The assertion states that "A beam of charged particles is employed in the treatment of cancer." - **Explanation**: In cancer treatment, particularly in radiation therapy, beams of charged particles such as protons or heavy ions are indeed used. These particles can effectively target and destroy cancerous cells. ### Step 2: Understanding the Reason The reason states that "Charged particles on passing through a material medium lose their energy by causing ionization of the atoms along their path." - **Explanation**: When charged particles travel through a material medium (like human tissue), they interact with the atoms in that medium. This interaction often results in the ionization of those atoms, meaning that electrons are knocked off the atoms, leading to energy loss for the charged particles. ### Step 3: Evaluating the Truth of Assertion and Reason - **Assertion**: True. Charged particle beams are indeed used in cancer treatment. - **Reason**: True. Charged particles lose energy through ionization as they pass through materials. ### Step 4: Analyzing the Relationship Between Assertion and Reason While both the assertion and the reason are true, we need to determine if the reason provides a correct explanation for the assertion. - The assertion explains the application of charged particles in cancer treatment, while the reason describes the mechanism of energy loss due to ionization. Although both statements are true, the reason does not directly explain why charged particles are used in cancer treatment. ### Conclusion Both the assertion and the reason are true, but the reason does not provide a correct explanation for the assertion. Therefore, the correct answer is that both are true, but the reason is not the correct explanation of the assertion. ### Final Answer The correct option is: Both Assertion and Reason are true, but Reason is not the correct explanation of Assertion. ---

Assertion: The energy of charged particle moving in uniform magnetic field does not change. Reason: Work done by magnetic field on the charge is zero.

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. Which of the following cannot be accelerated in a cyclotron?
