In the figure, a small particle of charge -1.7 × 10-6 C and mass m = 2.1 × 10-12 kg has speed v0 = 7.1 × 103 m/s as it enters a region of uniform magnetic field. The particle is initially traveling perpendicular to the magnetic field and is observed to travel in the semicircular path shown with radius R = 3.0 cm. Find the magnitude and direction of the magnetic field in the region. Make sure to explain how you've determined the direction of the magnetic field
