Cyclotron frequency
Change the field and see how fast a charged particle circles.
What to notice
The circulation frequency depends only on the field, not on the speed.
Key relation
f = qB/(2πm)
Try this
Double the field to double the frequency.
What you can change
- Magnetic field: 0.1 to 2 T
- Particle: choose Proton, Electron
