Question:

The magnetic field in a certain region of space is given by B=8.35×10−2i T. A proton is shot into the field with velocity v=(2×105i + 4×10^5j)m/s. The proton follows a helical path in the field. The distance moved by proton in the x-direction during the period of one revolution in the yz-plane will be ( mass of proton=1.67×10−27kg)
