Wow, I clearly wasn't thinking straight when I did that problem.. 45degrees makes complete sense. No idea why I thought I attempted to split up the magnetic field components.
Oh well, thank you for your help!
Homework Statement
A Proton moves with a velocity of 5x10^6 m/s in the +y direction. What is the force (magnitude and direction) on the proton if a magnetic field of 2.12Ti + 2.12Tj is applied.
