Question

Suppose that a particle with mass m and electrical charge q
moves in the xy-plane under the influence of the magnetic
field B = Bk (thus a uniform field parallel to the z-axis),
so the force on the particle is F =qv x B if its velocity is
v. Showthat the equations ofmotion of the particle are
         mx'' = +qBy' , my'' = -qBx'
