Vectors and Velocity Problem
Not what you're looking for?
I need a perfect step by step solution of the following problem:
A particle of charge q is started at the origin with an initial velocity (vector)v_0 = v_0 x(^), in a region where a uniform electric field exists (vector)E = E_0 z(^), and a magnetic field intensity is given by (vector)B = B_0 x(^) + B_0 y(^). HINT: ROTATE THE HORIZONTAL PLANE SO ONE OF YOUR NEW AXES LINES UP WITH THE DIRECTION OF THE RESULTANT B FIELD. Write out and solve the equations for x, y, z as functions of time. Evaluate any/all constants in your solution.

** Please see the attached file for the complete solution **
Vectors v, E and B are plotted on the x,y and z rectangular coordinate system above.
Lorentz force experienced by the charged particle is given by:
F = q(E + v X B) [where X represents the cross product]
Substituting for v, E and B we get:
=> F = q[E0 + (v0 X (B0 + B0 )] = q[E0 + (v0 X B0(+ )]
=> F = q[E0 + v0 B0 ( X + X )] ...(1)
As = 0 and X = , equation (1) reduces to:
F = q[E0 + v0 B0 ) = q(E0 + B0) ...(2)
From equation (2) it is ...
