The electron is accelerated through a potential difference of 
, so the kinetic energy gained by the electron is equal to its variation of electrical potential energy:
where
m is the electron mass
v is the final speed of the electron
e is the electron charge
is the potential difference
Re-arranging this equation, we can find the speed of the electron before entering the magnetic field:
Now the electron enters the magnetic field. The Lorentz force provides the centripetal force that keeps the electron in circular orbit:
where B is the intensity of the magnetic field and r is the orbital radius. Since the radius is r=25 cm=0.25 m, we can re-arrange this equation to find B:
