ANSWER

True

Step-by-step explanation

A linear accelerator is a particle accelerator that accelerates particles by subjecting them to electric potentials - oscillating electric potentials. If the particles where not charged, these potentials would do nothing to them. Therefore, a linear accelerator only can accelerate subatomic charged particles.
