Target entity: Cockcroft–Walton voltage multiplier Context triple: [Cockcroft–Walton experiment, usedAcceleratorType, Cockcroft–Walton voltage multiplier]
-
A.
Cockcroft–Walton generator
chosen
The Cockcroft–Walton generator is a high-voltage power supply circuit that uses a cascade of capacitors and diodes to multiply an input AC voltage, historically important for early particle acceleration experiments.
-
B.
Cockcroft–Walton experiment
The Cockcroft–Walton experiment was a pioneering 1932 nuclear physics experiment that achieved the first artificial disintegration of atomic nuclei using accelerated protons, confirming Einstein’s mass–energy equivalence.
-
C.
Van de Graaff generators
Van de Graaff generators are electrostatic machines that use a moving belt to accumulate very high voltages on a hollow metal sphere, commonly used for physics research and educational demonstrations of electricity.
-
D.
Fleming valve
The Fleming valve is an early thermionic vacuum tube diode invented by John Ambrose Fleming that enabled the rectification and detection of radio signals, laying groundwork for modern electronics.
-
E.
Leyden jar
The Leyden jar is an early form of capacitor that stores static electric charge on metal foil layers separated by an insulating glass container.
- F. None of above.
- G. Unsure - the case is ambiguous/there is not enough information to decide.
