Expert Solution
Step 1

When a charged particle enters a magnetic field, it is acted upon by a magnetic force, given by the expression

F=qv×Bq is the magnitude of the chargev is the velocity of the chargeB is the magnetic field

From the given problem

q=20 μC=20×10-6 Cv=50i km/s=50×103i m/sB=0.3j+0.7k
