### Understanding Magnetic Force on a Charged Particle

When a charged particle moves with velocity \( \mathbf{v} \) through a magnetic field \( \mathbf{B} \), a force due to the magnetic field \( \mathbf{F_B} \) acts on the charged particle. This force is determined using the cross-product:

\[ \mathbf{F_B} = q \mathbf{v} \times \mathbf{B} \]

where \( q \) is the charge of the particle.

#### Example Problem

1. **Given:**
   - Charge of the particle, \( q = 13.4 \times 10^{-6} \) C (Coulombs)
   - Velocity vector, \( \mathbf{v} = \langle 1, 5, 2 \rangle \)
   - Magnetic field vector, \( \mathbf{B} = \langle 4, 2, -1 \rangle \)

2. **Questions:**

   (a) Find the force vector \( \mathbf{F_B} \) acting on the particle.
   
   (b) What is the magnitude of the force on the particle?

   (c) Sketch the right-handed system \(\{ \mathbf{v}, \mathbf{B}, \mathbf{F_B} \}\) and roughly indicate the trajectory of the particle.

#### Solution:

(a) **Finding the Force Vector \( \mathbf{F_B} \)**

To find \( \mathbf{F_B} \), calculate the cross-product \( \mathbf{v} \times \mathbf{B} \):

\[ \mathbf{v} = \langle 1, 5, 2 \rangle \]
\[ \mathbf{B} = \langle 4, 2, -1 \rangle \]

Using the cross-product formula for vectors in three dimensions:

\[
\mathbf{v} \times \mathbf{B} = \begin{vmatrix}
\mathbf{i} & \mathbf{j} & \mathbf{k} \\
1 & 5 & 2 \\
4 & 2 & -1 
\end{vmatrix}
\]

Solving the determinant:

\[
\mathbf{v} \times \mathbf{B} = \mathbf{i}(5 \cdot (-1) - 2 \cdot 2) - \mathbf{j}(1
