Verify that the cyclotron frequency $\omega=e B / m$ has the correct dimensions of $[T]^{-1}$.
For a charge particle moving perpendicular to the magnetic field, the magnetic Lorentz forces provides necessary centripetal force for revolution.
$$\frac{m v^2}{R}=q v B$$
On simplifying the terms, we have
$\therefore \quad\frac{q B}{m}=\frac{v}{R}=\omega$
Finding the dimensional formula of angular frequency
$$\therefore\quad[\omega]=\left[\frac{q B}{m}\right]=\left[\frac{v}{R}\right]=[T]^{-1}$$
Show that a force that does no work must be a velocity dependent force.
Let no work is done by a force, so we have
$$\begin{aligned} &\begin{aligned} \mathrm{dW} & =\mathbf{F} \cdot \mathrm{dl}=0 \\ \Rightarrow\quad\text { F. } \mathbf{v} d t & =0 \quad\text { (Since, } \mathbf{d l}=\mathbf{v} d t \text { and } \mathrm{dt} \neq 0 \text { ) }\\ \Rightarrow\quad\text { F. } \mathbf{v} & =0 \end{aligned}\\ \end{aligned}$$
Thus, $F$ must be velocity dependent which implies that angle between $F$ and $v$ is $90^{\circ}$. If $v$ changes (direction), then (directions) F should also change so that above condition is satisfied,
The magnetic force depends on $v$ which depends on the inertial frame of reference. Does then the magnetic force differ from inertial frame to frame? Is it reasonable that the net acceleration has a different value in different frames of reference?
Yes, the magnetic force differ from inertial frame to frame. The magnetic force is frame dependent.
The net acceleration which comes into existing out of this is however, frame independent (non -relativistic physics) for inertial frames.
Describe the motion of a charged particle in a cyclotron if the frequency of the radio frequency (rf) field were doubled.
Here, the condition of magnetic resonance is violated.
When the frequency of the radio frequency (rf) field were doubled, the time period of the radio frequency ( rf ) field were halved. Therefore, the duration in which particle completes half revolution inside the dees, radio frequency completes the cycle.
Hence, particle will accelerate and decelerate alternatively. So, the radius of path in the dees will remain same.
Two long wires carrying current $I_1$ and $I_2$ are arranged as shown in figure. The one carrying current $I_1$ is along is the $x$-axis. The other carrying current $I_2$ is along a line parallel to the $y$-axis given by $x=0$ and $z=d$. Find the force exerted at $o_2$ because of the wire along the $x$-axis.
In Biot- Savart law, magnetic field $\mathbf{B}$ is parallel to $i \mathbf{d} \mathbf{l} \times \mathbf{r}$ and $i \mathbf{d} \mathbf{l}$ have its direction along the direction of flow of current.
Here, for the direction of magnetic field, At $\mathrm{O}_2$, due to wire carrying $I_1$ current is
$$\text { B } \| \text { parallel } i \text { dl } \times r \text { or } \hat{\mathbf{i}} \times \hat{\mathbf{k}} \text {, but } \hat{\mathbf{i}} \times \hat{\mathbf{k}}=-\hat{\mathbf{j}}$$
So, the direction at $\mathrm{O}_2$ is along $Y$ - direction.
The direction of magnetic force exerted at $\mathrm{O}_2$ because of the wire along the, $x$-axis.
$$\mathbf{F}=I l \times \mathbf{B} \approx \hat{\mathbf{j}} \times(-\hat{\mathbf{j}})=0$$
So, the magnetic field due to $l_1$ is along the $y$-axis. The second wire is along the $y$-axis and hence, the force is zero.
