The Van de Graaff generator is used to create high voltages for speeding up ____ particles in atom-smashing experiments.
A)static
B)neutralized
C)induced
D)charged

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Van de Graaff generator is a device that separates electric charges and builds up a high voltage by transferring electric charge from a moving belt to a hollow metal sphere. The high voltage produced by the generator is used to charge particles in atom-smashing experiments. These particles may be ions or atomic nuclei that are accelerated by the high voltage and made to collide with other particles or nuclei. Therefore, the best choice would be D) charged particles.
