Homework Statement
A particle of charge q and rest mass m0 moves in a circular orbit of radius R and angular frequency w in a uniform magnetic field b in the z direction: Find b in terms of R,q , m0, and w.
Homework Equations
b = (1/c) v X e and v = w/R and e = not sure. My problem is that all of my equations for e have a gamma factor (lorentz factor) in them, and I don't think i need that. So I think I am using the wrong equations.
The Attempt at a Solution
I got that v = w/R
and if I do indeed use gamma i have gamma(u) = (1-w^2R^2/c^2)^-(1/2)
