Physics Question on electrostatic potential and capacitance

Van de Graaff generator is used to

A

store electrical energy

B

build up high voltages of few million volts

C

decelerate charged particle like electrons

D

both (a) and (b) are correct

Answer

build up high voltages of few million volts

Explanation

Solution

Van de Graff generator- is an electrostatic generator which is devised to produce very high voltage by means of an endless belt collecting electrostatic charge from a source and transferring it to a large isolated metal sphere on which a large change accumulates.
