Hello.
I have a set of ODE where
1) [tex]\frac{dv_x}{dt}=\frac{q(t)B}{m}v_y[/tex]
2) [tex]\frac{dv_y}{dt}=\frac{q(t)B}{m}v_x[/tex]
3) [tex]\frac{dv_z}{dt}=0[/tex]
Following the strategy to solve a simple harmonic oscillator,
I differentiate (1) to get
4) [tex]\frac{d^2v_x}{dt^2}=\frac{q(t)B}{m}\frac{dv_y}{dt}+q'(t)v_y[/tex]
and substitute (1) and (2) into it to get
5) [tex]\frac{d^2v_x}{dt^2}=(\frac{q(t)B}{m})^2v_x+\frac{q'(t)}{q(t)}\frac{dv_x}{dt}[/tex]
which involve only functions of [itex]t[/itex] and [itex]x[/itex].
The initial position of the particle is at the origin.
I do not know if this is the correct way. I should solve it by inspired guessing?
Can you please help me by giving me some tips on solving this?
Thank you very much.
