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.

In a nuclear power plant, the reactor produces 500°C steam that is used to power the steam turbines which generate 1500 MW of electrical power. The cooling tower eliminates the waste heat at 50°C. If the efficiency of the plant were that of a Carnot engine, at what rate would waste heat be vented to the atmosphere?
