Enter the mass (kg), the velocity (m/s), and the magnetic induction (T) into the Cyclotron Radius Calculator. The calculator will evaluate the Cyclotron Radius.
Cyclotron Radius Formula
The following formula is used to calculate the Cyclotron Radius.
R = m*v/(B*e)
Variables:
- R is the Cyclotron Radius (m)
- m is the mass (kg)
- v is the velocity (m/s)
- B is the magnetic induction (T)
- e is the charge (C)
How to Calculate Cyclotron Radius?
The following steps outline how to calculate the Cyclotron Radius.
- First, determine the mass (kg).
- Next, determine the velocity (m/s).
- Next, determine the magnetic induction (T).
- Next, determine the charge (C).
- Next, gather the formula from above = R = m*v/(B*e).
- Finally, calculate the Cyclotron Radius.
- After inserting the variables and calculating the result, check your answer with the calculator above.
Example Problem:
Use the following variables as an example problem to test your knowledge.
mass (kg) = 5
velocity (m/s) = 6
magnetic induction (T) = 8
charge (C) = 1.25
R = m*v/(B*e) = ?
