Suppose our E-field measurement has an uncertainty of 0.75 kV/m and our radius of curvature measurement has an uncertainty of 0.6 cm. What is the total uncertainty associated with the magnetic field we just calculated? The magnetic field calculated was  8.25358*10^-4 T   which was gotten from the following information: we have an electron moving perpendicular to a B-field along a circular path of radius 16.8 cm. If imposition of an E-field of 20.1 kV/m makes the path straight. How do I calculate the uncertainty?
