A electron experiences a force $\left( {4.0\,\hat i + 3.0\,\hat j} \right)\times 10^{-13} N$ in a uniform magnetic field when its velocity is $2.5\,\hat k \times \,{10^7} ms^{-1}$. When the velocity is redirected and becomes $\left( {1.5\,\hat i - 2.0\,\hat j} \right) \times {10^7}$, the magnetic force of the electron is zero. The magnetic field $\vec B$ is :
