Abstract

The fundamental properties of the Ellis wormholes are reviewed. Using the Hamilton-Jacobi formalism, we have derived the effective potentials and the orbit equation for a particle around a wormhole in both Ellis and Morris-Thorne geometries. Finally, we apply the equation obtained in the Morris-Thorne case for a Schwarzschild wormhole.
