A proton is circling the Earth above the magnetic equator,where Earth's magnetic field is directed horizontally north and has a magnitude of 4.00 × 10-8 T.If the proton is moving at a speed of 2.7 × 107 m/s,how far above the surface of the Earth is the proton? Earth's radius is 6.38 × 106 m,a proton's mass is 1.67 × 10-27 kg,and its charge is 1.6 × 10-19 C.
A) 7.05E+6 m
B) 1.34E+7 m
C) 1.03E+8 m
D) 6.65E+5 m
