Question

Under the influence of a uniform magnetic field, a charged particle moves with a constant speed v in a circle of radius r. The time period of the revolution of the particle:

The correct answer is

Is independent of both v and r

The time period of a charged particle moving in a uniform magnetic field is given by:
T = (2πm) / (qB),
which shows that the time period is independent of both velocity (v) and radius (r). It only depends on the charge (q), mass (m) of the particle, and the magnetic field (B).
Thus, the correct answer is (b).
