This lecture covers the trajectory of a charged particle in static and uniform electric and magnetic fields, discussing the cases of uniform and non-uniform magnetic fields. It explains the motion as a superposition of drift and gyromotion, detailing the behavior in parallel and perpendicular directions. The lecture also explores the concept of guiding centers and the implications of arbitrary forces and curvature drift on particle motion.
