The van de Graaff Generator is not based on

The van de Graaff Generator is not based on
  1. the phenomenon of Corona Discharge in X-ray tube.
  2. the application of electric field and magnetic field which are perpendicular to each other.
  3. the property that charge given to a hollow conductor is transferred to its outer surface and distributed uniformly over it.
  4. the fact that a charge is continuously supplied to an isolated metallic conductor, the potential of the conductor goes on increasing.

Solution

This option refers more to the principles behind devices like a cyclotron, not the Van de Graaff generator. The Van de Graaff generator does not rely on magnetic fields and electric fields being perpendicular. ^
