                    A charged particle of charge q and mass m enters perpendicularly in a magnetic field \[\vec{B}\]. Kinetic energy of the particle is E; then frequency of rotation is:                                                                                             

    A)                 \[\frac{qB}{m\pi }\]                       

    B)                 \[\frac{qB}{2\pi m}\]

    C)                 \[\frac{qBM}{2\pi m}\] 

    D)                 \[\frac{qB}{2\pi E}\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

                              Key idea: For a charged particle to move in a circular path in a magnetic field, the magnetic force on charge particle provides the necessary centripetal force.                 Hence, magnetic force = centripetal force                 i.e.,        \[qvB=\frac{m{{v}^{2}}}{r}\] \[orqvB=mr{{\omega }^{2}}\]    \[(v=n\omega )\] \[or{{\omega }^{2}}=\frac{qvB}{mr}=\frac{q(r\omega )B}{mr}\] \[or\omega =\frac{qB}{m}\]                 If v is the frequency of rotation, then                 \[\omega =2\pi v\,\Rightarrow \,\,v=\frac{\omega }{2\pi }\]                         \[\therefore v=\frac{qB}{2\pi m}\]                 Note:    In the resultant expression \[\frac{q}{m}\] is known as specific change. It is sometimes denoted by \[\alpha \]. So, in terms of \[\alpha \], the above formula can be written as
