NEET2012PhysicsMagnetic Effects of CurrentActual
Assertion : A charged particle can be accelerated in a cyclotron by the alternate distribution of the field. Reason : Energy of charged particle is increased by the field applied.
Options
- AIf both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of assertion.
- BIf both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion.
- CIf assertion is true but reason is false.
- DIf both assertion and reason are false.
Correct answer
A. If both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of assertion.
Step-by-step solution
Cyclotron is used to accelerate charged particles to high energies. It uses both electric and magnetic fields together to increase the energy of the charged particle.
