  • mass of the particle
  • velocity of the particle
  • magnetic field
  • charge
Show Solution

The Correct Option is B

Solution and Explanation

Step 1: Radius
$r = mv/(qB)$ grows with $v$.

Step 2: Time for one turn
Distance $2\pi r$ over speed $v$ gives $2\pi m/(qB)$: $v$ cancels.

Step 3: Pick
Velocity, option (B).

Final Answer:
Option (B). \[ \boxed{T = \frac{2\pi m}{qB}} \]
