Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) undergoes acceleration all the time

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

A charged particle in a cyclotron experiences: 1. Centripetal acceleration within the dees due to the magnetic field (changes direction). 2. Tangential acceleration between the dees due to the electric field (increases speed). Thus, the particle is always undergoing…
