    For this question the magnetic force provides the force required for the circular motion

    Equating

    Magnetic force = centripetal force

    Bqvsinx = mv^2/r

    as magnetic field is perpendicular x=90

    Bqvsin90 = mv^2/r

    Bq = mv/r

    B = mv/rq

    Then replace r = 0.6, v = 2.1ms and mp from formula sheet and you can obtain B which is magnetic field intensity
