This diagram shows an arrangement to deflect protons from a source to a detector using a magnetic field. The charge on each proton is A uniform magnetic field exists only within the area shown. Protons move from the source to the detector in the plane of the paper.

(c) Two changes to the magnetic field in the area shown are made. These changes allow an electron with the same speed as the proton to be deflected along the same path as the proton. State the two changes made.
