The solution (a) I gave is not all that different from the spirit of how
solves the following mechanics problem in an inertial frame!!together
You have a bunch of charged, massive partices, some of them hooked
with springs and some with (massless, non-stretchable) ropes attachedpresent,
between them etc etc. There is also a non-uniform magnetic field
agent unspecified. What is the motion of the system.of
One solves this applying Newton's 2nd law, that is solve the equations
motion! You never need to worry about using Newton's 3rd law towhatever it
was that produced the non-uniform magnetic field. You may find ithelpful to
apply the 3rd law between some of the particles present in the systemwhose
motions you are trying to analyze.
