Answer
For a charge particle moving perpendicular to the magnetic field:
$\frac{(\text{mv}^2)}{\text{R}}=\text{qvB}$
$\Rightarrow\ \frac{\text{qB}}{\text{m}}=\frac{\text{v}}{\text{R}}=\omega$
$\Rightarrow\ =\omega=\frac{\text{qB}}{\text{m}}=\frac{\text{v}}{\text{R}}=[\text{T}]^{-1}$
$\frac{(\text{mv}^2)}{\text{R}}=\text{qvB}$
$\Rightarrow\ \frac{\text{qB}}{\text{m}}=\frac{\text{v}}{\text{R}}=\omega$
$\Rightarrow\ =\omega=\frac{\text{qB}}{\text{m}}=\frac{\text{v}}{\text{R}}=[\text{T}]^{-1}$
