Explanation:
Advantages and disadvantages of cyclotron
Advantages:
- Study of EM waves: The particle which is accelerated with the help of cyclotron emits electromagnetic radiation and that radiation emitted from the particle is also called as cyclotron radiation. This radiation helps in the study of electromagnetic waves (EM waves)
- Nuclear Physics: Cyclotron is used to accelerate the particle at high speed and hence can also be called a particle accelerator. Now, this huge particle accelerator is used to accelerate the particles to near the speed of light and is used to understand more about nuclear physics.
- Treatment for cancer: As you all know, cancer is an extremely dangerous disease. Cancer is basically growing of extra tissues (more than needed by the human body). The high-speed ion beam can be used to penetrate through the human body and to kill the tumour in the human body.
Disadvantages:
- The cyclotron and high-speed particle can be very useful but what are some of the limitations and disadvantages of a cyclotron.
- A cyclotron is used to accelerate the speed of a particle, but it also has its limits and this is the main disadvantage and limitation of a cyclotron. Speed of particle cannot be increased after a limit.

Answer:
A cyclotron is used to accelerate the speed of a particle, but it also has its limits and this is the main disadvantage and limitation of a cyclotron. Speed of particle cannot be increased after a limit. Reason : Equation which shows mass increases with speed.
