A finite difference method is used to solve the equation of motion derived from the Lorentz force law for the motion of a charged particle in uniform magnetic fields or uniform electric fields or crossed magnetic and electric fields. The graphical output from the mscript gives a summary of the parameters used in a simulation, the trajectory in an
XY plane and 3D trajectory and displacement, velocity and acceleration time graphs.
