When do we use the equations of curvature drift ( ΔΒ⊥Β) V∇B= ±1/2u⊥rL (B x ∇B)/B2 and the general VF= c/q (F x B)/B2?
For particles like muons and protons, do they need different equations to calculate a gas' drift velocity, when the gas is made of protons or muons instead of electrons?
Am I wrong if I think that since protons or Atoms like He can be considered non relativistic particles, we consider that the gravity is the one responsible for their drift, therefore they need the VF one, meanwhile muons' mass is too small to use the VF, so we need the V∇B one?
