Homework Statement



Hi to everyone! I would like you to help me for a problem of classical electrodynamics. I have to study the relativistic motion of a charged particle in a coulombian field with center in the origin of the cartesian axes. I have to study the case in which the initial velocity is purely radial.

Can anyone give me some advices, or links where I can find this problem performed?

Thank you very much!

C.
