A large uniform magnetic field is depicted above directed into the page with a magnitude of 0.20T. A proton is shot into the field with a speed of 5.0x106 m/s and is trapped in a circular orbit.
a. (5) Determine the magnitude of the force on the proton due to this magnetic field.
b. (10) Determine the radius of the proton’s path.
c. (5) Calculate the period of the proton’s orbit.
d. (5) How much work is done by the B-field on the proton over one complete orbit?
