Answer:</h2>
0.17T
<h2>
Explanation:</h2>
When a charged particle moves into a magnetic field perpendicularly, it experiences a magnetic force
which is perpendicular to the magnetic field and direction of the velocity. This motion is circular and hence there is a balance between the centripetal force
and the magnetic force. i.e
=
--------------(i)
<em>But;</em>
=
[m = mass of the particle, r = radius of the path, v = velocity of the charge]
= qvB [q = charge on the particle, B = magnetic field strength, v = velocity of the charge ]
<em>Substitute these into equation (i) as follows;</em>
= qvB
<em>Make B subject of the formula;</em>
B =
---------------(ii)
<em>Known constants</em>
m = 1.67 x 10⁻²⁷kg
q = 1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹C
<em>From the question;</em>
v = 1.4 x 10⁷m/s
r = 0.85m
Substitute these values into equation(ii) as follows;
B = 
B = 0.17T
Therefore, the magnetic field strength is 0.17T
