Answer

$B = 0.33~T$

Work Step by Step

We can find $\gamma$: $K = E_0~(\gamma-1) = 2.50~MeV$ $\gamma-1 = \frac{2.50~MeV}{E_0}$ $\gamma = 1+\frac{2.50~MeV}{0.511~MeV}$ $\gamma = 5.89$ We can find $\beta$: $\gamma = \frac{1}{\sqrt{1-\beta^2}}$ $\sqrt{1-\beta^2} = \frac{1}{\gamma}$ $1-\beta^2 = \frac{1}{\gamma^2}$ $\beta^2 = 1-\frac{1}{\gamma^2}$ $\beta = \sqrt{1-\frac{1}{\gamma^2}}$ $\beta = \sqrt{1-\frac{1}{5.89^2}}$ $\beta = 0.9855$ We can find the magnetic field $B$: $r = \frac{\gamma ~m~v}{\vert q \vert B}$ $B = \frac{\gamma ~m~v}{\vert q \vert r}$ $B = \frac{(5.89)~(9.109\times 10^{-31}~kg)~(0.9855)(3.0\times 10^8~m/s)}{(1.6\times 10^{-19}~C)(0.030~m)}$ $B = 0.33~T$
