The magnitude of maximum magnetic force that could be exerted on the proton is 1.44 x 10^-12 N.

The magnitude of the force on a charged particle moving in a magnetic field is given by the formula,

F= qvB

Here q is the charge on proton = 1.6 x 10^-19 C.

v is the velocity with which the particle is moving = 6.00 x 10^6 m/s

And B is the value of the magnetic field = 1.5 T

Putting the given values in the above equation,

F = 1.6 x 10^-19 x 6 x 10^6 x 1.5 = 1.44 x 10^-12 N.

Hence, the magnitude of maximum magnetic force that could be exerted on the proton is 1.44 x 10^-12 N.
