  • This is achieved by means of a moving belt and suitable brushes, through which charge is continuously transferred to the shell and this, in turn, produces a potential difference of the order of several million volts.
  • This large potential difference thus created, is used to accelerate charged particles to very high speeds.
  • The electrostatic generator that uses a moving belt to accumulate electric charge on a hollow metal surface on the top of an insulated column which creates a very high electric potential/Voltage is called Van de Graff generator. 
  • This Van de Graff can produce a very high voltage at low current levels and can easily accelerate charge particles as per the requirement of our experiment.
  • Here there are two pulleys which are also known as roller.

EXPLANATION:

  • As the Van de Graff generator is used to produce very high-frequency voltage and accelerating charged particles. Hence option 4 is correct.
