Magnetic force exerted on a single moving charged particle

Design a magnetic shield An alien from a planet in the galaxy M31 (Andromeda) has a ray gun that shoots protons at a speed of 2.0 x 105 m/s. Design a magnetic shield that will deflect the protons away from your body. Using rough estimates, show that your magnetic shield will, in fact, protect you. Indicate the orientation of your protective device’s magnetic field relative to the direction of the proton beam and the direction in which the ions are deflected.
