why is the cyclotron not used to accelerate electrons ?
A cyclotron cannot be used to accelerate electrons because electrons are of very small mass.
Thus, the velocity will be increased to such a great extent that the electron will be thrown out of the step with the oscillating field.
And we don't want electrons to get change their field.
I hope this information helps you
All the best
