An electron is constrained to move along the $y$-axis with a speed of $0.1 c$ ($c$ is the speed of light) in the presence of an electromagnetic wave,whose electric field is $\overrightarrow{E} = 30 \hat{j} \sin(1.5 \times 10^7 t - 5 \times 10^{-2} x) \, V/m$. The maximum magnetic force experienced by the electron will be: (given $c = 3 \times 10^8 \, m/s$ and electron charge $q = 1.6 \times 10^{-19} \, C$)
