Talk:Rigidity (electromagnetism)

p/q
In the last sentence, it is written
 * If the particle momentum, p, is given in GeV/c, then the rigidity, in tesla-metres, is Bρ = 3.3356p.

I think it should be
 * If the particle momentum, p, is given in GeV/c, then the rigidity, in tesla-metres, is Bρ = 3.3356p/q.

Are you agree? Pamputt (talk) 17:26, 18 August 2010 (UTC)

relativistic equation
Hello, formula given in this page is exact in classical case. In the relativistic case, you should use this formula
 * $$B\rho = \beta \gamma \frac{mc^2}{ec}\frac{A}{q}$$

I do not add this equation because I do not manage to find some reference to validate this equation. Pamputt (talk) 17:27, 7 December 2010 (UTC)

That is not needed if you are using the relativistic definition of momentum, and in accelerator physics you'd better be. 194.36.2.132 (talk) 18:11, 20 February 2013 (UTC)
