1. The problem statement, all variables and given/known data
A proton, with mass 1.67*10^-27 kg and charge +1.6*10^-19C, is sent with velocity 5.0*10^4 m/s in the x-direction into a region where there is uniform electric field of magnitude 390 V/m in the y direction. What is the magnitude and direction of the uniform magnetic field in the region, if the proton is to pass through undeflected? Assume that the magnetic field has no x-component. Neglect gravitational effects.
2. Relevant equations
3. The attempt at a solution
I have no idea where to begin! Any help would be greatly appreciated!
