B = 0.018 T Ans,
Since, it is moving in a circular path, thus, centripetal force will act on it i.e.
F =
where, m is the mass of the object, v is the velocity and r is the radius of circular path.
And, since a positive charge is moving, it will create magnetic force which is equal to F = qvB
where q is the charge, v is the velocity of the particle and B is the magnetic field.
Now, the two forces will be equal,
i.e. = qvB
⇒
= qB
⇒B =

use q = 1.6 * 10^ -19
⇒ B = 0.018 T
