Answer:

The time t required is [tex]t= 2.73 *10^{-8} sec[/tex]

Explanation:

When this proton move into the magnetic field region the magnetic field would cause it to move in a clockwise direction

   The force which it would feel inside the field is mathematically denoted as follows

                     [tex]F = qvB[/tex]

And this is the same thing as the force which keeps it around the circle without spiraling off and this is also know as centripetal force and it is mathematically

                      [tex]F_c = \frac{mv^2}{r}[/tex]

Since the two force are equal we can equate the formulas

                       [tex]qvB = \frac{mv^2}{r}[/tex]

making r the subject of the formula

                      [tex]r = \frac{mv}{qB} = \frac{(1.67*10^{-27)(1*10^6)}}{(1.60*10^{-19)(1.2)}} = 8.7*10^{-3} m[/tex]

Now mathematically the total distance traveled is  

                                  [tex]S = \pi r[/tex]

Since  [tex]Time = \frac{distance }{velocity}[/tex]

                    = [tex]\frac{\pi r}{v} =\frac{(3.142 *8.7*10^{-3})}{1*10^6} = 2.73 *10^{-8} sec[/tex]
