For the charged particle that enters in a magnetic field (B) and moves with a velocity (v) in a circular motion, we have:

A. The period of the second particle that is more massive is 10T (option d).

B. The frequency of revolution of the more massive particle is f/10 (option a).

We can find the period and frequency of the particle with the equations deduced from the Lorentz force.

Part A

The period of the charged particle that enters in a magnetic field (B) and moves with a velocity (v) describing a circular path is given by:

$T = \frac{2\pi r}{v} = \frac{2\pi m}{qB}$

Where:

r: is the radius = mv/qB

v: is the velocity

m: is the mass

q: is the charge of the particle

B: is the magnetic field

The period of the first particle is:

$T_{1} = \frac{2\pi m_{1}}{qB}$

If the second particle is 10 times more massive than the first particle, the period is:

$T_{2} = \frac{2\pi m_{2}}{qB} = \frac{2\pi (10m_{1})}{qB} = 10(\frac{2\pi m_{1}}{qB}) = 10T_{1}$

Hence, the period for the second particle that is ten times as massive is 10T. The correct option is d.

Part B

The frequency can be calculated as follows:

$f = \frac{1}{T}$

The frequency of revolution of the first particle is f:

$f_{1} = \frac{1}{T_{1}}$

and for the more massive particle we have:

$f = \frac{1}{T_{2}} = \frac{1}{10T_{1}} = \frac{1}{10}*\frac{1}{T_{1}} = \frac{1}{10}*f_{1}$

Therefore, the frequency of revolution of the more massive particle is f/10. The correct option is a.

A) d. 10T

When a charged particle moves at right angle to a uniform magnetic field, it experiences a force whose magnitude os given by

F=qvB

where q is the charge of the particle, v is the velocity, B is the strength of the magnetic field.

This force acts as a centripetal force, keeping the particle in a circular motion - so we can write

$qvB = \frac{mv^2}{r}$

which can be rewritten as

$v=\frac{qB}{mr}$

The velocity can be rewritten as the ratio between the lenght of the circumference and the period of revolution (T):

$\frac{2\pi r}{T}=\frac{qB}{mr}$

So, we get:

$T=\frac{2\pi m r^2}{qB}$

We see that this the period of revolution is directly proportional to the mass of the particle: therefore, if the second particle is 10 times as massive, then its period will be 10 times longer.

B) a. f/10

The frequency of revolution of a particle in uniform circular motion is

$f=\frac{1}{T}$

where

f is the frequency

T is the period

We see that the frequency is inversely proportional to the period. Therefore, if the period of the more massive particle is 10 times that of the smaller particle:

T' = 10 T

Then its frequency of revolution will be:

$f'=\frac{1}{T'}=\frac{1}{(10T)}=\frac{f}{10}$

Acharged particle enters a uniform magnetic field b with a velocity v at right angles to the field.
