Particle under action of force in uniform magnetic field, moves in circular orbit whose radius is given by r = mv/Bv.  For charged particle orbiting near earth with high velocity, the magnetic field can be obtained rearranging above formula.

From the relation r = mv/Bq

We have B = mv/qr

Substituting the values,we have
