Question: Answered & Verified by Expert
An electron is moving in a cyclotron at a speed of \( 3.2 \times 10^{7} \mathrm{~m} \mathrm{~s}^{-1} \) in a magnetic field \( 5 \times 10^{-4} \mathrm{~T} \) perpendicular to it. The frequency of this electron is: \( \left(q=1.6 \times 10^{-19} \mathrm{C}, m_{e}=9.1 \times 10^{-31} \mathrm{~kg}\right) \)

The correct answer is: \( 1.4 \times 10^{7} \mathrm{~Hz} \)
v=3.2×107m s-1 ; B=5×10-4 T
The frequency of electron is
f=qB2πm=1.6×10-19×5×10-42×3.14×9.1×10-31
f=1.4×107Hz=14 MHz
