Consider a charged particle of mass m and electric charge q (q>0) moving parallel to the xy plane in an infinitely expanding vacuum. A constant, uniform magnetic field B=(0,0,B) (B>0) is applied in the positive direction of the z axis. Furthermore, a time-varying, uniform electric field E=(0,E0sin(ωt),0) (E0>0) is applied in the direction of the y axis at time t≥0. Here, the angular frequency ω is exactly equal to the particle's cyclotron angular frequency ωc=mqB, and the particle is assumed to be in a resonant state.
At time t=0, the charged particle was at rest at the origin (0,0,0). Let the particle's velocity vector be v(t)=(vx(t),vy(t),0). Develop the equation of motion and find the time evolution of each velocity component. Furthermore, find the kinetic energy K of this charged particle at time t=ωc10π, which is the time elapsed from time t=0, corresponding to 5 periods of cyclotron motion.
Assume that electromagnetic radiation from the particle and relativistic effects are all negligible.
The kinetic energy K [J] of a particle at time t=ωc10π is expressed as K=Aπ2 using pi π. Find the value of the coefficient A and input a natural number representing that value.
