Representation of the ion oscillation (displacement r from initial position with respect to time) due to a harmonically varying applied electric or magnetic force (solid line) (as described by Eq. 7 in the case of the GMF). The same oscillation without the constant term in Eq. 7 is represented by the dashed line. In both cases the maximum ion displacement in one direction during the oscillation is 2A (A the oscillation amplitude). The moment the force is applied there is an instant displacement of the whole oscillation at a distance equal to A.
