Question

A Van de graph generator is used

Answer 1

Explanation,

1. A Van de Graaff generator is an electrostatic accelerator that is used to generate high voltages in less time with a great safety factor in scientific experiments.
2. It works on the principle of built-up high potential difference.
3. It is supported on a smooth conducting surface by the constant transfer of positive static charges from a moving belt to the surface.

Uses of Van de graph generator,

1. It is used in particle accelerators. The high energy produced by the generator accelerates the subatomic particles present in the tube.
2. It is used in Sterilizing food. The accelerated electrons help in sterilizing food and process the material further.
