Integrals of the motion of charged particles moving in one-dimensional current sheets are considered, and it is proved that particles which are either magnetically or electrostatically trapped about such a current sheet exhibit zero-drift. Circumstances where B sub z approaches zero are examined together with cases where B sub z does not equal zero, and it is noted that the zero-drift result ceases to have practical significance as soon as the diameter of the allowed tube approximates the finite width of the current sheet. A self-consistent model is therefore established, whereby the particles trapped within an electromagnetic field (as about the earth) exhibit no drift if they are able to lose their original charge.
