(D. R. Nicholson ~ 2.3) Consider a particle moving in a time-dependent electric field E=˙Etuy, where ˙E is a constant, and a uniform magnetic field B=B0uz.

(a) Calculate the E×B drift.

(b) Relate the resulting accelerated drift with a force and verify that the drift due to that force is the polarization drift.
