Question

The principle of operation for a centrifuge is primarily based on:
Options
A Diffusion, where particles move from high to low concentration.
B Osmosis, where water moves across a semi-permeable membrane.
C Sedimentation, where denser particles move away from the center of rotation.
Correct Answer
D Capillary action, where liquids rise in narrow tubes.
Correct Answer

Option C is the correct answer.

Detailed Explanation

Page 31 states, 'A centrifuge works on the principle of sedimentation, where the high speed of the rotation causes the denser particles to move away from the center while smaller, less dense particles are forced towards the center.'

Hint

Centrifuges separate components based on their mass and density under rotational force.
