Gyroradius Calculator

Posted by Dinesh on

Online calculator to calculate the radius of the circular motion of a charged particle in the presence of a uniform magnetic field using Gyroradius formula and Its also known as radius of gyration, Larmor radius or cyclotron radius.

The gyroradius ρ of a particle of charge e and mass m in a magnetic field of strength B is one of the fundamental parameters used in plasma physics.

At higher temperatures and lower densities the average gyroradius should be calculated by adding up all electrons in the available states.

Radius of Gyration or Cyclotron Calculation

Formula:

rg = [m.v] / [|q|.B]

where,
m = the mass of the particle,
q = the electric charge of the particle,
B = the strength of the magnetic field,
v = velocity perpendicular to the direction of the magnetic field,
rg = radius of gyration, Gyroradius, Larmor radius or cyclotron radius
