A cyclotron accelerates a particle of mass \(m\) and charge \(q\) in a magnetic field \(B\). The cyclotron frequency \(\nu\) is
Show Hint
Remember that cyclotron frequency is independent of radius. If you forget the formula, use dimensional analysis: frequency has units \(T^{-1}\). Only option (B) matches the dimensions of frequency.

- \(\frac{mq}{2\pi B}\)
- \(\frac{qB}{2\pi m}\)
- \(\frac{mqB}{2\pi}\)
- \(2\pi mqB\)
- \(\frac{2\pi m}{qB}\)
Show Solution
The Correct Option is B
