(a) An oxygen-16 ion with a mass of 2.66×10−26 kg travels at 5.00×106 m/s perpendicular to a 1.20-T magnetic field, which makes it move in a circular arc with a 0.231-m radius. What positive charge is on the ion? (b) What is the ratio of this charge to the charge of an electron? (c) Discuss why the ratio found in (b) should be an integer.

Explanation:

This problem can be solved by using the formula

where m is the mass of the ion, v is the velocity, q is the charge, B is the strength of the magnetic field and r is the radius of the circular motion of the ion.

(a) Taking q from the equation and by replacing we have

.

(b)  ≈ 3*10^(10) C

the ion has 2.99*10^(10) more charge than an electron .

(c) The ratio must be an integer because the electrons are indivisible.

I hope this is usefull for you,

most voltage drop calculators want the distance between the source and destination. then internally, they double it so both the source and return wires are calculated. but you need to know which distance the calculator uses so you're not half of what you should be or double what you should be.

most circuit breakers will not take a #6 directly, so the electrician will have to splice on a smaller pigtail. you also have to upsize the grounding wire when you upsized the ungrounded (hot) wire (see note in 250.122). this will preclude using most cable assemblies, as a cable with #6 copper will most likely only have a #10 grounding conductor. you need a #6 grounding conductor if the circuit is 20a. a #8 cable is no better, as it will have a #10 grounding conductor too. but most 20a breakers will take a #8 directly.

in your related post, you didn't say what type of load this is. if it is a light or heater, voltage drop won't be a big issue. if this is a motor, the current needs are huge at startup and the voltage drop can pose a problem. if this is a motor, knowing if the motor is under much load during startup will answer the voltage drop effect (a saw is easier to start than a compressor).
