1. A proton has velocity v = (40,000 i +30,000 j) m/s as it enters a uniform magnetic field B-70 μT L. What are (a) the radius of the helical path taken by the proton and (b) the pitch of that path? (c) To an observer looking into the magnetic field region from the entrance point of the proton, does the proton spiral clockwise or counterclockwise as it moves?
