Definition: the frequency of rotation of a charged particle of specified nature describing, in the presence of a uniform magnetic field, a helical curve around the lines of force of the field

NOTE – The gyro-frequency fc is given by the expression:

f c = 1 2π qB m MathType@MTEF@5@5@+=feaagCart1ev2aqatCvAUfeBSjuyZL2yd9gzLbvyNv2CaerbbjxAHXgaruavP1wzZbItLDhis9wBH5garmWu51MyVXgarqqtubsr4rNCHbGeaGqipG0dh9qqWrVepG0dbbL8F4rqqrVepeea0xe9LqFf0xc9q8qqaqFn0lXdHiVcFbIOFHK8Feea0dXdar=Jb9hs0dXdHuk9fr=xfr=xfrpeWZqaaeaaciWaamGadaGadeaabaGaaqaaaOqaaiaadAgadaWgaaWcbaGaci4yaaqabaGccqGH9aqpdaWcaaqaaiaaigdaaeaacaaIYaGaeqiWdahaamaalaaabaGaamyCaiaadkeaaeaacaWGTbaaaaaa@3E5F@
