Particle Motion in an Electromagnetic Field Made by Shane Frewen Here we observe the motion of a particle in a time independent electromagnetic field. The electric field was linear in cartesian coordinates while the magnetic field was constant. The following equations were solved using the rk4 method Here the time dependant variables are: X, Y, Z, the cartesian coordiantes E, the Electric field The initial conditions were chosen to be: X=2, Y=0, Z=1, vx=5, vy=0,vz=0 Prepared for UC Berkeley course EPS 109 “Computer Simulations in Earth and Planetary Science”, fall 2008, Instructor: B.
