Question: In a reference system , there exists a homogeneous electric field E = E _ x and a homogeneous magnetic field B = B _

In a reference system , there exists a homogeneous electric field E = E_x and a homogeneous magnetic field B = B_z, where B = E_0/(2c)(c is the speed of light). A charge q >0 enters the space of this EM field with velocity (relative to ) v =0.8cx.
Questions:
(a) Calculate the four-force exerted by the field on the charge q.
(b) Examine whether there exists a reference system in which the electric or magnetic field is zero, and find the velocity of this system relative to .
