Answer:

The magnetic field of the particle is 1.5 T.

(C) is correct option.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

Momentum of particle
p=4.8*10^(-16)\ kg m/s

Radius = 1.0 km

Charge of the particle
q=2*1.6*10^(-19)\ C

We need to calculate the magnetic field

Using relation of radius of path in magnetic field


r=(mv)/(qB)

Here mv = p


B=(p)/(qr)

Put the value into the formula


B=(4.8*10^(-16))/(1000*2*1.6*10^(-19))


B=1.5\ T

Hence, The magnetic field of the particle is 1.5 T.
