Problem

A proton (charge +1.6×10−19 C+1.6\times10^{-19}\,\text{C}) moves due north with a speed of 5.0×106 m s−15.0\times10^{6}\,\text{m\,s}^{-1} in a region where a uniform magnetic field of magnitude 0.40 T0.40\,\text{T} is present. Determine how this magnetic field must be oriented so that the proton experiences no magnetic force.
