i'm familiar with terminology used to denote rates of change in inertial and rotational frames, and the equation that links the two quantities, but working through a derivation/thought experiment to describe charge orbitting around another fixed charge in a weak magnetic field, it results in precession which is analagous to gyrscopic precession, but for the life of me, when working through the derivation, i can't explicitly see which term in the final equation describes this precession.
could someone point me in the right direction
cheers
p.s
the equation I am looking at (it may be the wrong one) is:
ma(I) = k r + Qv(I) x B
where
m=mass
a(I) = acceleration vector in inertial frame
k = coulomb attaraction betwwen the charges, -QQ/4piepislon etc
r = radius
Q=charge
V(I) = velocity in inertial
B = mag field
