A proton is accelerated from rest by an electric potential difference of 462 V, and then enters a region of uniform magnetic field. The magnetic field is oriented perpendicular to the velocity with a magnitude of 78.9 mT. What will the radius of the proton's path be once it enters the magnetic field?
