Answer

5.5 T.

Work Step by Step

In problem 11, it is stated that the energy of a particle (measured in eV) of charge e, traveling in a circular path (radius r, in meters) at relativistic speeds, may be related to the required magnetic field (in tesla) by the relationship $$E_{electron\;volts}=Brc$$ Solve for the magnetic field. $$B=\frac{E_{electron\;volts}}{rc}$$ $$B=\frac{(7.0\times10^{12})}{(4.25\times10^3 m)(3.00\times10^8 m/s)}=5.5T$$
