A beta particle emitted from a radioactive nucleus?

A beta particle emitted from a radioactive nucleus moves in a circular path perpendicular to a uniform magnetic field of 0.33 T. The kinetic energy of the particle is 0.680 MeV. What is the radius of the circle? (Hint: First decide if the speed is relativistic.)
