Hello all,
If there is a uniform magnetic field perpendicular to a moving charge, the charge will move in circular motion. Suppose there is a negatively charged ball with mass m in a gravity field directed downwards and a magnetic field going through the page. Since the velocity is changing over time due to gravity, the force due to the magnetic field (which is perpendicular to the direction of the moving charge and the magnetic field) is also changing. What is the trajectory of the charge? And how can it be described mathematically?
Regards,
