8-1. A charged particle of mass m and charge q moves in a uniform mag- netic induction field Bo. Show that the most general motion of the particle traces out a helix, the cross section of which is a eircle of radius R = mv1/qB. (Here vi is the component of velocity of the particle which is perpendicular to Bo.) 8-1. A charged particle of mass m and charge q moves in a uniform mag- netic induction field Bo.
