Alpha particles (charge 2+, mass of 6.68x10^-27kg) areaccelerated in a cyclotron

Question

Alpha particles (charge 2+, mass of 6.68x10^-27kg) areaccelerated in a cyclotron to a final orbit radius of .3m. Themagnetic force in teh cyclotron is .8 T. What is the periodof circular motion of the alpha particles? Am I supposedf to find , and then converting toseconds???

Explanation / Answer

radius of the orbit r = 0.3 m ,magnetic field B = 0.8 T       mass of theparticle   m = 6.68*10-27 kg Time period T = 2 m / q B          substitutethe above values to get solution            T =...................s
