A narrow beam of identical ions with specific charge q/m, possessing different velocities, enters the region of space, where there are uniform parallel electric and magnetic fields with strength E and induction B, at the point O (see Fig. 3.101). The beam direction coincides with the x axis at the point O. A plane screen oriented at right angles to the x axis is located at a distance L from the point O. Find the equation of the trace that the ions leave on the screen. Demonstrate that at z << L it is the equation of a parabola.
