Solution

The correct option is A Both Assertion and Reason are correct and Reason is the correct explanation for Assertion.
By alternating the field directions, the force on the particle is kept such that the radius of its path keeps on increasing before leaving the chamber. This is made possible because the speed of the particle increases as alternating electric field always accelerates the particle. Thus, electric field increases the energy of the particle. Thus, both assertion and reason are correct and reason is the correct explanation of assertion.
