Step 1: Understanding the Concept:
A charge moving perpendicular to a field follows a circle. The magnetic force provides the centripetal force: \(qvB = \frac{mv^2}{r}\), so \(r = \frac{mv}{qB}\).
Step 2: Period:
\[ T = \frac{2\pi r}{v} = \frac{2\pi m}{qB} \]
The velocity cancels out. The period depends on mass, charge and the field, but not on the speed.
Final Answer:
The period is independent of the velocity of the particle, option (B).
\[ \boxed{\text{velocity of the particle}} \]
