We study the motion states of charged particles in a homogeneous electromagnetic field based on the Maxwell equations. The authors propose the charged particle properties analysis based on the Maxwell equation and electromagnetic field, first explain the Maxwell equation and electromagnetic field properties analysis, and then analyze the charged particles in the composite field (electric and magnetic field coexistence). List the important knowledge points about the motion of charged particles in an electric field, and determine the center of the circle where the charged particles move in a circular motion, simulate the motion of charged particles in a uniform orthogonal electromagnetic field, if at, the trajectory of the charged particle is a short-amplitude cycloid, if, the trajectory of the charged particle is a long cycloid, if. The realization of simulation is mainly based on theory to obtain phenomena, although it has extensive practical significance for confirmatory experiments, when inspiring and guiding students to carry out inquiry learning, physics teachers should still organically combine simulation experiments with traditional experimental teaching, teacher explanations, and student experiments in teaching design and teaching implementation, in order to cultivate students' independent inquiry ability and experimental innovation ability.
