Cyclotron Frequency Calculator

Find the cyclotron frequency of a charged particle in a magnetic field.

Charge (C)

Magnetic field (T)

Mass

Cyclotron frequency (Hz) 27,992,489,876.94

Formula: f = q·B ÷ (2π·m)

Step-by-step with your numbers:

1. Values used:

2. Charge = 0 C

3. Magnetic field = 1 T

4. Mass = 0

6. Cyclotron frequency = 27,992,489,876.94Hz

Did we solve your problem today?

A charged particle circles in a magnetic field at the cyclotron frequency.

The math behind it

f = q·B ÷ (2π·m). It is independent of the particle's speed (non-relativistically).

Electron in 1 T → about 28 GHz.

Where is this used?

Cyclotrons, mass spectrometers and plasma physics.
