Q12 of 29 Page 25

Verify that the cyclotron frequency ω = eB/m has the correct dimensions of [T]–1.

Dimension of B is , dimension of e is A1T1 and dimension of m is M. Hence, according the given formula when we equate them, we get dimensional formula ω = which simplifies to .

A cubical region of space is filled with some uniform electric and magnetic fields. An electron enters the cube across one of its faces with velocity v and a positron enters via opposite face with velocity - v. At this instant,

 11

A charged particle would continue to move with a constant velocity in a region wherein,

 13

Show that a force that does no work must be a velocity dependent force.

 14

The magnetic force depends on v which depends on the inertial frame of reference. Does then the magnetic force differs from inertial frame to frame? Is it reasonable that the net acceleration has a different value in different frames of reference?
