(D. R. Nicholson ~ 2.3) Consider a particle moving in a time-dependent electric field →E=−˙Et→uy, where ˙E is a constant, and a uniform magnetic field →B=B0→uz.
(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.
