<strong>Ion</strong>s in static or quasi-static static electro-magnetic fields<br />

Lorentz Force<br />

For ion acceleration electric forces are used.<br />

(1)<br />

q = electric charge<br />

B = magn. induction<br />

E = electric field<br />

v = velocity<br />

For momentum analysis <strong>the</strong> magnetic force is preferred because <strong>the</strong><br />

force is always perpendicular <strong>to</strong> B. Therefore v, p and E are constant.<br />

Force in magnetic dipole B = const: p = q B ρ<br />

p = mv = momentum<br />
