Abstract
We theoretically consider the dynamics of a self-propelled active Janus motor moving in an external electric field. The external field can manipulate the route of a Janus particle and force it to move toward the desired targets. To investigate the trajectory of this active motor, we use a perturbative scheme. At the leading orders of surface activity of the Janus particle and also the external field, the orientational dynamics of the Janus particles behave like a mathematical pendulum with an angular velocity that is sensitive to both the electric field and surface activity of the motor.
