Question:
A proton approaches the Earth with speed c c is the speed of light in vacuum at an angle of to Earths magnetic field lines and is trapped in the lower Van Allen belt without a change in its speed. If the mean strength of the field
at this altitude is B T find the radius of curvature for the circular part of the protons helical motion.
