Answer

$2.7\times10^{-2}T$ upward

Work Step by Step

See Example 20-6. The magnetic force is the centripetal force. $$qvB=m\frac{v^2}{r}$$ $$B=\frac{mv}{qr}=\frac{p}{qr}$$ $$=\frac{4.8\times10^{-21}kg \cdot m/s}{(1.60\times10^{-19}C)(1.1m)}$$ $$=2.7\times10^{-2}T$$ Assume the protons are moving in a horizontal circle, orbiting clockwise as seen from above. The magnetic field points upward. This causes an inward-pointing (centripetal) force which makes the positively-charged protons orbit clockwise.
