As shown in the figure, a small particle of charge q = 7.0×10−9 C and mass m = 4×10−12 kg has velocity v0 = 9×103 m/s as it enters a region of uniform magnetic field. The particle is observed to travel in the semicircular path shown, with radius R = 5.0 cm. Calculate the magnitude and direction of the magnetic field in the region.
