A proton, with mass 1.67 × 10-27 kg and charge +1.6 × 10-19 C, is sent with velocity 7.1 × 104 m/s in the +x direction into a region where there is a uniform electric field of magnitude 730 V/m in the +y direction

What are the magnitude and direction of the uniform magnetic field in the region, if the proton is to pass through undeflected? Assume that the magnetic field has no x-component and neglect gravitational effects.
