Answer

See the detailed answer below.

Work Step by Step

From the given graph, we can see that: - $B=-0.10\;\hat z\;\rm T$ - $E=-10^6\;\hat i\;\rm V/m$ - $v=10^7\;\hat i\;\rm m/s$ So the net force exerted on the charge is given by $$\sum F=q(\vec E+\vec v\times \vec B)$$ Plug the given; $$\sum F=(1.6\times 10^{-19})(-10^6\;\hat i+[10^7\;\hat i\times-0.10\;\hat z])$$ $$\sum F=(1.6\times 10^{-19})(-10^6\;\hat i+10^6\;\hat j)$$ $$\sum F= (- 1.6\times 10^{-13}\;\hat i+1.6\times 10^{-13}\;\hat j)\;\rm N$$ The magnitude of this force is given by $$\left|\sum F\right|=\sqrt{(- 1.6\times 10^{-13})^2+( 1.6\times 10^{-13})^2}$$ $$\left|\sum F\right|=\color{red}{\bf 2.3\times 10^{-13}}\;\rm N$$ It angle relative to positive $y$-directino is given by $$\tan\theta=\dfrac{F_x}{F_y}$$ $$\theta=\tan^{-1}\left[\dfrac{1.6\times 10^{-13}}{1.6\times 10^{-13}}\right]$$ $$\theta=\color{red}{\bf45}^\circ\tag {CCW from $+y$-direction}$$
