Show Answer

Solution:

Ans. When a particle of mass m and charge q, moves with a velocity v, in a uniform magnetic field B, it experiences a force F where

F=q(v×B)

Centripetal force, mv2r=qv B

 or, r=mvqB1/2  Frequency, f=v2πr=qB2πm1/2

Hence, it is independent of the velocity or the energy of the particle.
