: You have two acceleration vectors; notice anything particular about them ? Could that help you towards another expression involving ##v## and ##r## ?The formula for finding the radius of a particle's circular path is r = mv/qB, where r is the radius, m is the mass of the particle, v is its velocity, q is its charge, and B is the strength of the magnetic field.
If a particle is moving in a circular path, it will have a constant speed and its direction will continuously change, resulting in a curved path. Additionally, the particle may experience a centripetal force towards the center of the circle.
No, this formula is specifically for finding the radius of a particle's circular path in a magnetic field. Other types of circular motion, such as circular motion due to gravitational forces, will require different formulas.
The units for the variables in the formula are as follows: r (radius) is measured in meters (m), m (mass) is measured in kilograms (kg), v (velocity) is measured in meters per second (m/s), q (charge) is measured in coulombs (C), and B (magnetic field strength) is measured in teslas (T).
Yes, this formula can be used for any magnetic field. However, you must ensure that the units for each variable are consistent with the units of the magnetic field strength (teslas) in order to get an accurate result.
