a) A cosmic-ray proton in interstellar space has an energy of20.5 MeV and executes a circular orbit having a radius equal tothat of Venus' orbit around the Sun (1.08 ✕ 10^11 m). What is themagnetic field (in T) in that region of space?
b)What If? The cosmic ray proton enters our solar system wherethe interplanetary magnetic field has a magnitude of 5.00 nT and isperpendicular to the velocity of the proton. What is the radius (inm) of the proton's circular orbit in this field?
