8. A particle of mass m and charge e is moving freely in an electromagnetic field with a velocity v. The Lagrangian is L = T-V + () (A) where T and V are the kinetic and potential energies, c is the velocity of light, and A is the vector potential with rectangular components Ax, Ay, and A₂. Find the generalized momenta conjugate to x, y, z and the Hamiltonian function.
