Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -A cyclotron is used to accelerate both positively and negatively charged particles but a neutral particle (e.g neutron) cannot be accelerated in cyclotron.
Detailed explanation-2: -Cyclotron is not suitable for accelerating electrons. Due to the small mass, the speed of electrons increases rapidly. Likewise, due to quick relativistic variation in their mass, the electrons get out of step with the oscillating electric field.
Detailed explanation-3: -A cyclotron accelerates ion particles (i.e., Positive (+) charge particle) outwards from the canter and it does that in a spiral path. The particles are accelerated by a rapidly varying electric field between two semi-circular hollow Dee.
