The equivalent circuit model is used to describe analytically the coupling process of the center of mass motion of a cloud of particles in a Penning trap. From the response of this coupled circuit to white noise a way of nondestructively diagnosing the number of trapped particles is given which is valid for all values of this quantity. Experimental results are presented and compared with this analysis.
