Physics Education, v54 n1 Article 015002 Jan 2019
This paper presents the usage of an Excel spreadsheet for studying charged particle dynamics in the presence of uniform electric and magnetic fields. The equation of motion of the charged particle is developed under different conditions and the data is obtained in an Excel spreadsheet under variation of parameters such as the velocity of charged particle, applied field strength and direction. For visualizing the change in trajectory of the charged particle 2D and 3D plots are further obtained by using Excel and Origin Pro8.5 graphical software's, respectively.
