An electron that has velocity $$\displaystyle{v}={\left({2.0}\times{10}^{{6}}\ \frac{{m}}{{s}}\right)}{i}+{\left({3.0}\times{10}^{{6}}\ \frac{{m}}{{s}}\right)}{j}$$ moves through the uniform magneticfield $$\displaystyle{B}={\left({0.30}{T}\right)}{i}-{\left({0.15}{T}\right)}{j}$$
a) Find the force on the electron.
b) Repeat your calculation for a proton having the same velocity.

$$\displaystyle{F}_{{B}}={q}{v}\times{B}$$ is the equation to use: in words, v "crosses" B
$$\displaystyle\therefore$$ in vector notation (instead of unit vector notation) $$\displaystyle{\frac{{{b}}}{{{c}}}}$$ it's the same and its easier for me to type in:
a) $$\displaystyle{F}_{{B}}={q}{v}\times{B}$$
$$\displaystyle={q}{\left({<}{2000000}{i},{3}{000}{000}{j}{>}{x}{<}{0.03}{i},-{0.15}{j}{>}\right)}$$
$$\displaystyle={q}{\left(-{390000}{k}\right)}$$
$$\displaystyle={\left(-{1.602}\times{10}^{{{19}}}\right)}{\left(-{390000}{k}\right)}$$
$$\displaystyle={6.25}\times{10}^{{-{14}}}{N}$$
b) $$\displaystyle{F}_{{B}}={q}{v}\times{B}$$
$$\displaystyle={q}{\left({<}{2}{000000}{i},{3000000}{j}{>}{x}{<}{0.03}{i},-{0.15}{j}{>}\right)}$$
$$\displaystyle={\left(+{1.602}\times{10}^{{{19}}}\right)}{\left(-{390000}{k}\right)}$$
$$\displaystyle=-{6.25}\times{10}^{{-{14}}}{N}$$

As the texbook points out, answers are correct.
