Solution
The correct option is A Both Assertion and Reason are correct and Reason is the correct explanation for Assertion Cyclotron does not accelerate electron because mass of electron is very small. It gets accelerated very appreciably as a result of which its mass increases. It result is mismatch between frequency of a.c. used and frequency of rotation of electron in the Dee's. So cyclotron stops accelerating electrons after some time.
