About this document
Charged Particle Motion in Fields by Priyanka Pinky is a document available to read on EtoBox.
This document discusses charged particle motion in external electric and magnetic fields. It begins by introducing the Lorentz force equation and describing particle gyromotion in a uniform magnetic field, including Larmor radius and cyclotron frequency. It then discusses guiding center drifts that can occur when magnetic fields are non-uniform or electric fields are present, including the important E×B drift. Specific cases of particle motion are analyzed for uniform electric and magnetic fields, and for n
