In a certain region, the earth's magnetic field has a magnitude of 5.4×10−5 T and is directed north at an angle of 45∘ below the horizontal. An electrically charged bullet is fired north and 18∘ above the horizontal, with a speed of 540 m/s. The magnetic force on the bullet is 3.2×10−10 N, directed due east. Determine the bullet's electric charge, including its algebraic sign (+ or -). Number Units
