2. Formulate a differential equation for ${\bf v}$.
3. Now we accelerate the electron by adding an electric ${\bf E}$ that is perpendicular to ${\bf B}$. Sketch the motion of the electron.
4. Adjust the differential equation found in (2) to include ${\bf E}$.
We now consider an electron in a metal.
5. Include the Drude scattering time $\tau$ into the differential equation for the velocity you formulated in 4.
5. We now consider an electron in a metal. Include the Drude scattering time $\tau$ into the differential equation for the velocity you formulated in 4.
6. Let's assume $\tau \gg T_c$. What would the shape of the motion of the electron be in this limit? What would the shape be when $\tau \ll T_c$? Which of these two limits holds in a typical metal?
