Abstract:
Recently in a paper by Hidalgo-Gonzalez and Jiménez-Aquino [Phys. Rev. E 100, 062102 (2019)PREHBM2470-004510.1103/PhysRevE.100.062102], the generalized Fokker-Planck equation (GFPE) for a Brownian harmonic oscillator in a constant magnetic field and under the action of time-dependent force fields, has been explicitly calculated using the characteristic function method. Although the problem is linear it is not easy to solve, however, the method of the characteristic function is effective and allows to obtain an exact and precise solution of the problem. Our theoretical result has been compared with the one reported by Das et al. in a recently submitted paper [arXiv:2011.09771] using another solution method. The proposed method consists in constructing the GFPE and then calculating each time-dependent coefficient associated with this equation. However, in a more complicated case, one cannot know a priori the exact number of terms that this equation must contain. The precise number is further provided by the characteristic function method.

Magnetic Field due to Moving Charges
Consider a point charge moving with a constant velocity. Like the electric field, the magnetic field at any point is directly proportional to the magnitude of the charge and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between the source point and the field point. However, unlike the electric field, the magnetic field is always perpendicular to the plane containing the line...
