Motion of Charged Particles in Electric and Magnetic Fields

Problem 3.376

Determine the acceleration of a relativistic electron moving along a uniform electric field of strength \(E\) at the moment when its kinetic energy becomes equal to \(T\).

Reveal Answer
w=eEm0(1+T/m0c2)3w=\frac{e E}{m_{0}\left(1+T / m_{0} c^{2}\right)^{3}}
