A particle of mass m, charge q and position x moves in a constant, uniform magnetic field B which points in a horizontal direction. The particle is also under the influence of gravity, g , acting vertically downwards. Write down the equation of motion and show that it is invariant under translations x -> x + x0. Obtain x = \alpha x \times n + gt + a where \alpha = qB/m, n is a unit vector in the direction of B and a is a constant vector. Show that, with a suitable choice of origin, a can be written in the form a = an. By choosing suitable axes, show that the particle undergoes a helical motion with a constant horizontal drift. Suppose that you now wish to eliminate the drift by imposing a uniform electric field E. Determine the direction and magnitude of E. Training
