Question
**Problem (L09):**

A beam of protons traveling at \(8.37 \times 10^3\) m/s enters a uniform magnetic field, traveling perpendicular to the field, as shown in the figure. The beam exits the magnetic field in a direction perpendicular to its original direction. The beam travels a distance of \(1.36 \times 10^{-2}\) m while in the field. What is the magnitude of the magnetic field (in T)?

**Explanation of the Diagram:**

The diagram shows a proton beam entering a square region with a uniform magnetic field denoted by \( \vec{B} \), represented by a series of 'X' marks indicating that the magnetic field is directed into the plane of the screen. 

- Upon entering the magnetic field, the proton beam, initially traveling horizontally to the right, follows a curved path.
- This curved path indicates that the proton is subjected to a force due to the magnetic field, which causes it to undergo circular motion.
- The proton exits the magnetic field, continuing upwards, perpendicular to its original direction of travel, indicating a quarter-circle movement within the field.
