Abstract
Using the method of first integrals, we find an exact solution for the relativistic motion of a charge in orthogonal and uniform electric and magnetic fields with respect to laboratory time and for any value of the dimensionless governing parameter equal to the ratio of the magnetic field strength to the electric field strength.
