Charged‐Particle Motion in Electromagnetic Fields Having at Least One Ignorable Spatial Coordinate

Charged‐Particle Motion in Electromagnetic Fields Having at Least One Ignorable Spatial Coordinate

We give a rigorous derivation of a theorem showing that charged particles in an arbitrary electromagnetic field with at least one ignorable spatial coordinate remain forever tied to a given magnetic field line. Such a situation contrasts with the significant motions normal to the magnetic field that are expected in …
