I was looking for equation of motion. I came up with a solution but it doesn't satisfy me. Cause I was trying to find motion of that particle using Lagrangian. We know that
for some cases and I came up with . In Euler-Lagrange, kinetic energy has velocity as function, in there's no velocity directly, the equation actually tells me that particle is gaining kinetic energy from potential (more precisely, potential is converting into kinetic). At first sight, I wrote that what if particle is massless(?) so it's not very helpful.
Where I took if I try solve Euler-Lagrange using that Lagrangian then I get . How force is equal to electric field? It totally doesn’t make any sense to me, their dimension doesn't match either. None of these equation satisfy me. what I think that is I got wrong result for taking kinetic energy which doesn’t apply to charged particle. So what's the kinetic energy of charged particle?
