Gradient Drift

Gradient Drift is a guiding principle in single-particle motion that describes the perpendicular drift of a charged particle's trajectory due to a spatial gradient in a magnetic field's magnitude, distinguishing it from other drifts by its dependence on the non-uniformity of the field strength.
