Question:

Show that the classical Hamiltonian in Equation 2.54 is consistent with the Lorentz force

To proceed, calculate the force in the x direction, Fx = mẍ, the help of the following expressions from classical mechanics:

A dot over a quantity indicates a derivative with respect to time, and two dots represents the second derivative. The y and z components of the force can be obtained by cyclic permutation.
