A proton moves with a speed of \( 2 \times 10^6 \, \text{m/s} \) perpendicular to a uniform magnetic field of \( 0.5 \,
**Field outside long solenoid** considered negligible because magnetic lines are concentrated inside and return path spreads over large area outside, making B_out ≈ 0. This justifies using solenoid for uniform field experiments, with n = 950 m⁻¹, I = 1.4 A giving B = 4π×10⁻⁷×950×1.4 = 1.67×10⁻³ T. Radius r = (mv/qB) . Substitute: r = (1.67 × 10⁻²⁷ × 2 × 10⁶/1.6 × 10⁻¹⁹ × 0.5) = (3.34 × 10⁻²¹/8 × 10⁻²⁰) = 4.175 × 10⁻² m = 4.18 cm . Using F = q v B sinθ, F = I l B sinθ, B = μ₀ I/(2π r), B = μ₀ N I/(2R)
