उत्तर
In a cyclotron, a charged particle undergoes acceleration all the time.
Explanation:
Cyclotron is a device used to accelerate positively charged particles (like a-particles, deuterons etc.)
It is based on the fact that the electric field accelerates a charged particle and the perpendicular magnetic field keeps it revolving in circular orbits of constant frequency. Thus a small potential difference would impart enormously large velocities if the particle is made to traverse the potential difference a number of times.
