Options

• It is a machine to accelerate charged particles or ions to high energies.

• Cyclotron uses both electric and magnetic fields in combination to increase the energy of charged particles.

• The operation of the cyclotron is based on the fact that the time for one revolution of an ion is independent of its speed or radius of its orbit.

• The charged particles and ions in cyclotron can move on any arbitrary path.

Answer 1

The charged particles and ions in cyclotron can move on any arbitrary path.
