Consider a particle of mass m and charge q moving in the presence of constant and uniform

Question:

Consider a particle of mass m and charge q moving in the presence of constant and uniform electromagnetic fields given by E = Eoŷ and B = Boẑ. Assuming that initially (t = 0) the particle is at rest at the origin of a Cartesian coordinate system, show that it moves on the cycloid

image

Plot the trajectory of the particle in the z = 0 plane for q > 0 and for q ⊥ > VE, V = VE, and V E, where v denotes the particle cyclotron motion velocity and vE is the electromagnetic drift velocity.
