A charged particle of charge e and mass m is moving in an electric field E and magnetic field B. Construct dimensionless quantities and quantities of dimension [T ]–1.


The quantities provided are charge, electric field and magnetic field. Using these three we can never eliminate the units to unity. Hence, there is no such constructible dimensionless quantity.


[T]-1 is the dimension of frequency.


The time period of a cyclotron is,


Hence the frequency is going to be,



This is the [T]-1 quantity.
