5.A particle of charge -6.25 nC experiences a force of 1.25 N when it is moving at 3.75 x 104 m/s. Its motion is perpendicular to the magnetic field produced by a current-carrying wire, which is 3.0 cm from it. (a) What is the magnitude of the magnetic field? (b) How much current flows through the wire?
