1 of 1

Analyzing +4 | -1

Assertion: Cyclotron is used to accelerate heavy charged particles, such as proton. It not suitable for accelerating light charged particles, such as electrons.

Reason: Specific charge of proton is more as compared to electron.

View answer and explanation

Correct option: C

Assertion is true & Reason is false

Option C (Assertion is true & Reason is false) is correct because cyclotrons are unsuitable for accelerating light particles like electrons due to relativistic mass increase, and the specific charge of a proton is *less* than that of an electron.

Which of the following statements is not true A current loop in a magnetic field Given below are two statements:
Statement (I): When currents vary with time, Newton’s third law is valid only if momentum carried by the electromagnetic field is taken into account.
Statement (II): Ampere's circuital law does not depend on Biot-Savart’s law.
In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below: The magnetic field due to current carrying a circular loop of radius
