Trajectories in logarithmic potentials are investigated by taking as example the motion of an electron within a cylindrical capacitor. The solution of the equation of motion in plane polar coordinates, (r,{\phi}) is attained by forming a series expansion of r and of 1/r as a function of {\phi}. The terms of the series contain polynomials, the recurrence relation of which is given, together with some further characteristics. By the comparison-theorem of infinite series, the convergence of the solution is demonstraded. The simplest trajectories in logarithmic potentials are represented by rosette type orbits with a period of 4{\pi}/3, and by circular paths.
