Relativity af electric and magnetic fields

Motion of a charged particle in a rotating electric field and a perpendicular magnetic field. By changing the particle and fields parameters we can get many interesting trajectories: circles, cycloids, trochoids, parables, spirals, cardioids, and other periodic/quasi-periodic curves. Three different views are shown: the motion in the xy plane, the motion in 3D and the energy levels against time.
