$A$ particle of charge $q = -16 \times 10^{-18} \, C$ moving with velocity $v = 10 \, m/s$ along the $x$-axis enters a region where a magnetic field of induction $B$ is along the $y$-axis,and an electric field of magnitude $E = 10^4 \, V/m$ is along the negative $z$-axis. If the charged particle continues moving along the $x$-axis,the magnitude of $B$ is:
