A current I=15A is directed along the posative x-axis in a wire perpendicular to a magnetic field. The current experiences a magnetic force per unit length of 0.63N/m in the negative y direction. Calculate the magnitude and direction of the magnetic field in the region through which the current passes.

Assume the motions and currents mentioned are along the x-axis and fields are in the y-direction.
