Answer

$R=3.16\times 10^{-4} m$

Work Step by Step

As the magnetic force produces the centripetal force so these two forces are equal in magnitude. This can be written as: $qvB=\frac{mv^2}{R}$ Rearranging the formula to solve for $R$: $R=\frac{mv^2}{qvB}$ $R=\frac{mv}{qB}$ We then plug in the known values to obtain: $R=\frac{9.109\times 10^{-31}(1.11\times 10^7)}{1.6\times 10^{-19}(0.2)}$ $R=3.16\times 10^{-4} m$
