Question
The above figure shows the paths of three particles moving perpendicular to a uniform magnetic field.
A) Select the color of the path which corresponds to:
Green: A particle that has no charge. THIS ANSWER IS CORRECT
Red: A particle that has negative charge. THIS ANSWER IS CORRECT
Blue: A particle that has positive charge. THIS ANSWER IS CORRECT
B) Now assume the particle is a proton and that its initial velocity is 256.2 m/s to the right. If the magnitude of the magnetic field is 0.28 T, what is the magnitude of the force on the particle?
I know the charge of a proton is 1.6E-19 and I am pretty sure that I use F=qBv SIN? for the formula.
F=(1.6E-19)(.28)(256.2)[SIN(1)] = 6.83E15 N WRONG ANSWER
However this answer is wrong and I'm not sure why.
Any help would be greatly appreciate! Thanks!

magnetic force F = qvB sin theta
sin theta = sin 90 = 1
so F = qvB
F = 1.6 *10^-19 * 256.2* 0.28
F = 1.14 *10^-17 N
i suppose there is some error in your calculation, recheck it as there is 10^-19 factor for charge and you have answered it as 10^15, kindly check out this
