Question

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

Answer 1

the frequency of revolution of the second particle is f

Step-by-step explanation:

centripetal force is balanced by the magnetic force for object under magnetic field is given as

Mv²/r= qvB

But v= omega x r

Omega= 2pi x f

f= qB/2pi x M

So since frequency does not depend on the velocity.therefore the frequency of revolution of the second particle remains the same and its equal to f
