AIIMS 2018 Physics Cyclotron Frequency Assertion Reason Question
Assertion: The frequency of circular motion of a charged particle in cyclotron is independent of the mass of the particle.
Reason: Greater the mass of the particle less will be the frequency of the particle.
If both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of assertion.
If both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion.
If assertion is true but reason is false.
If both assertion and reason are false
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
The expression for frequency indicates that frequency is directly proportional to the charge and magnetic field , while inversely proportional to mass . This relationship is fundamental in understanding the motion of charged particles in a magnetic field, confirming that the assertion is incorrect. Since options A, B, and C are not provided, they cannot be evaluated, but they do not contribute to the explanation of the given expression. Understanding this formula is crucial for analyzing the behavior of charged particles in electromagnetic fields.
