摘要
A new constant of the motion is found for an electric charge acted on by an electric dipole. The relation of the constant of the motion to the energy of the particle is found. Some properties of the motion are studied and known results are reproduced more simply. We discuss conditions for the appearance of bounded and unbounded trajectories, motion on a sphere, and on a plane. Small angular oscillations around a stable circular trajectory are also studied.
