Answer #2

Force due to magnetic field F=v cross B

=> F,v and B are mutually perpendicular

F and v are in x-y plane => B has only z component

Let B=0i+0j+p k

F=v cross B

(-3.3*10^-15 i + 4.889 * 10^-15 j) = (40000 i + 27000j)cross(p k)=(27000p i - 40000p j)

=>27000p = -3.3*10^-15 and -40000p = 4.889*10^-15

=> p = 1.22*10^-19 T


Therefore B = 0i+0j+pk where p = 1.22*10^-19 T

magnitude of B = p = 1.22*10^-19

Bz = p = 1.22*10^-19
