Answer

$B = 0.495~T$

Work Step by Step

We can use the kinetic energy after accelerating through the potential difference to find the ion's speed: $K = \vert q \vert~V_1$ $\frac{1}{2}mv^2 = \vert q \vert~V_1$ $v^2 = \frac{2~\vert q \vert~V_1}{m}$ $v = \sqrt{\frac{2~\vert q \vert~V_1}{m}}$ $v = \sqrt{\frac{(2)(3.20\times 10^{-19}~C)(1.00\times 10^5~V)}{3.92\times 10^{-25}~kg}}$ $v = 4.04\times 10^5~m/s$ We can use the equation for the radius of curvature to find the magnitude of the magnetic field: $r = \frac{mv}{q~B}$ $B = \frac{mv}{q~r}$ $B = \frac{(3.92\times 10^{-25}~kg)(4.04\times 10^5~m/s)}{(3.20\times 10^{-19}~C)(1.00~m)}$ $B = 0.495~T$
