Question

Cyclotron is used to ______.

Options

• accelerate charged particles or ions to low voltages

• decelerate charged particles or ions to high voltages

• accelerate charged particles or ions to high energies

• accelerate charged particles or ions to high voltages

Answer 1

Cyclotron is used to accelerate charged particles or ions to high energies.

Explanation:

A cyclotron is a particle accelerator that employs an electric field to accelerate charged particles while also using a magnetic field to make them move in a circular direction. The particle obtains high energy of the order of a few million electron volts during acceleration in the electric field.
