Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) 1

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Velocity of the proton, \(\vec{v} = -v \hat{i}\) Magnetic field, \(\vec{B} = B \hat{k}\) Charge of the proton, \(q = +e\) The magnetic force experienced by the proton is given by \(\vec{F} = q(\vec{v} \times \vec{B})\) Substituting the values,…
