Linear accelerators are used in physics to accelerate

  • A.uncharged particles
  • B.neutral particles
  • C.protons
  • D.charged particles

Answer: D

A linear accelerator drives particles forward with oscillating electric fields, and an electric field can only exert force on something carrying charge.

\[ F = qE \]

So only charged particles - electrons, protons, ions - can be accelerated. A neutral particle has \( q = 0 \) and feels no force at all.
