A proton traveling at 23.0 with respect to the direction of a magnetic field of strength 2.60 mT experiences a magnetic force of 6.50 X 10-17 N. Calculate (a) the proton's speed and (b) its kinetic energy in electron-volts.

Question
In Fig. 28-38, a charged particle moves into a region of uniform magnetic field E, goes through half a circle, and then exits that region. The particle is either a proton or an electron (you must decide which). Fig.28-38 26. It spends 130 ns in the region. (a) What is the magnitude of E? (b) If the particle is sent back through the magnetic field (along the same initial path) but with 2.00 times its previous kinetic energy, how much time does it spend in the field during this trip?
Solution
The first step in solving 28 problem number 26 trying to solve the problem we have to refer to the textbook question: In Fig. 28-38, a charged particle moves into a region of uniform magnetic field E, goes through half a circle, and then exits that region. The particle is either a proton or an electron (you must decide which). Fig.28-38 26. It spends 130 ns in the region. (a) What is the magnitude of E? (b) If the particle is sent back through the magnetic field (along the same initial path) but with 2.00 times its previous kinetic energy, how much time does it spend in the field during this trip?
From the textbook chapter Magnetic Fields you will find a few key concepts needed to solve this.
