Gyroradius, also known as the Larmor radius, is the radius of the circular motion (or spiral path) that a charged particle, such as an electron or ion, describes when it moves perpendicular to a uniform magnetic field. This motion occurs because the magnetic field exerts a Lorentz force on the charged particle, causing it to move in a circular path.
