Abstract
Through parametrization of the relativistic Larmor formula, one can find th e trajectory of a charged particle in a uniform magnetic field. Simultaneou sly, there exists a drift of the center of curvature for the same. This eff ect is quantitatively compared with the predictions by other equations of m otion, such as Dirac, Mo-Papas, Herrera, Bonnor and Cardirola and the one r ecently obtained by Hartemann et al. We propose an experiment to verify the predicted effect, both qualitative and quantitative.
