| Abstract: | The motion of a charged particle is studied within a magnetic field. This field consists of two separate fields; a dipole and a uniform magnetic field, parallel to dipole's magnetic moment. The present study is maintained by means of the adiabatic theory. We use a numerical integration of the equations of motion and give comparative results between the adiabatic theory and the numerical integration. The previous results are applied to the case of the Earth's open magnetosphere. Diagrams and tables support this application. |
