Cyclotron frequency: A charged particle is moving with speed v perpendicular to a uniform magnetic field. A second identical charged particle is moving with speed 2v perpendicular to the same magnetic field. If the frequency of revolution of the first particle is f, the frequency of revolution of the second particle is

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The cyclotron frequency of a charged particle in a magnetic field is independent of the speed of the particle. It depends only on the charge of the particle and the strength of the magnetic field.
