Question
Just A part only thanks

Transcribed Image Text:(a) A cosmic-ray proton in interstellar space has an energy of 24.0 MeV and executes a circular orbit having a radius equal to that of Earth's orbit around the Sun
(1.50 x 1011 m). What is the magnetic field (in T) in that region of space?
T
(b) What If? The cosmic ray proton enters our solar system where the interplanetary magnetic field has a magnitude of 5.00 nT and is perpendicular to the
velocity of the proton. What is the radius (in m) of the proton's circular orbit in this field?
m
