The van de Graaff Generator is not based on
- A the phenomenon of Corona Discharge in X-ray tube.
- B the application of electric field and magnetic field which are perpendicular to each other.
- C the property that charge given to a hollow conductor is transferred to its outer surface and distributed uniformly over it.
- D the fact that a charge is continuously supplied to an isolated metallic conductor, the potential of the conductor goes on increasing.
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(B) the application of electric field and magnetic field which are perpendicular to each other.
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
This option refers more to the principles behind devices like a cyclotron, not the Van de Graaff generator. The Van de Graaff generator does not rely on magnetic fields and electric fields being perpendicular.
