The frequency of revolution of a charged particle in a cyclotron does not depend on ‘X’. Identify X.(a) Magnetic field(b) Speed of the particle(c) Mass of the particle(d) Charge on the particleThe question was asked in a job interview.Origin of the question is Motion in Combined Electric and Magnetic Field in division Moving Charges and Magnetism of Physics – Class 12

Answer»

The correct option is (b) Speed of the particle

Easiest explanation: The radius of the circular path of the CHARGED particle increases in direct PROPORTION to its speed. CONSEQUENTLY, both its time-period and frequency of revolution are INDEPENDENT of its speed. So, the ‘X’ is the speed of the particle.
