    cyclotron is used accelerate:

    A)  positive ion    

    B)                         negative ion     

    C)         electron        

    D)                         none of these

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

                    A cyclotron is a device developed by Lawrence and Livingstone by which the positively charged particles like proton, deuteron etc., can be accelerated/The working of cyclotron is based on the fact that a positively charged particle can be accelerated to a sufficiently high energy with the help of smaller values of oscillating electric field by making it to cross the same electric field time and again with the use of strong magnetic field. Note: Electron is not preferred for acceleration by a cyclotron because of its light weight.
